Public Safety sent out the following message just now: Police activity in the area of 116th street and Broadway.

We’ve heard a few rumors that one of our favorite places to get salads just got even more expensive: Milano is charging $1 extra for chopped salads.

The Palin family may have gotten into a drunken brawl. (State Column) Endless salad and breadsticks? There must be a downside.
