"Overexpansion"? Nonsense, there over one million Americans who live more than 300 feet from a mattress store #MattressStoreAccessNow
I just checked Google maps. Within 4 miles of my house there are 18 mattress stores.
That is 1.13 mattress stores per square mile. The state of Alaska has 1.11 PEOPLE per square mile
The most enraging thing about mattress stores is there are so many of them they actually cause me to lose sleep
I mean FFS Bezos has managed to kill off every retail superpower, but mattress stores continue to spread and metastasize at will. They're like the ISIS of brick-and-mortar retailing
I should probably shut up about this before I lose the estimated 23.4% of my followers who are in the mattress store business

If you're a Mercedes fan, my buddy Sergio Garibay's '32 Ford Tudor should be enough to give you a heart attack
hint: look at the wheels
"For a Mercedes-Benz 300SL, having Rudge wheels can increase the value of that car anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000"

Bring home the bacon. boys #FightForIowa #DefendFloyd
The surprising history of Floyd of Rosedale, college football's best traveling trophy. Created to diffuse tensions over Minnesota's targeting of black Hawkeye halfback Ozzie Simmons in the 1934 game
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa%E2%8…
Even more backstory: Iowans' anger over the 1934 treatment of Simmons was amplified because of Jack Trice, a black Iowa State player who died after being stomped in the 1923 ISU-Minnesota game. ISU's stadium is named for him.
