More Subs!

WJON has reported that a Firehouse Subs is coming to downtown St. Cloud. According to the article Firehouse Subs has signed a lease in the Coborn Plaza and expect to be open by early July. They’ll join a pretty crowded sub sandwich group with BoDiddley’s, Jimmy John’s, Erbert and Gerbet’s, and three Subway restaurants nearby. I won’t complain about more great food options though. I’m looking forward to a New York Steamer with some of Captain Sorensen’s Datil Pepper Hot Sauce!

 

 

 

 

(#FunFriday) I’m an Investor!

So, I’m not so much the next guy that’s going to make it big on the NYSE, but I have contributed my hard earned cash to a fun startup, more on that in a bit.  One of my favorite new sites is Kickstarter.  Kickstarter is a fantastic site that is bringing great ideas to life and allowing creators and inventors a place to succeed.  If you have a great idea and a knack for marketing Kickstarter is for you!  Here is how Kickstarter describes itself.

Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects. Everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others.

 

Okay, now back to my investing antics.  A month or so ago I came across Honey Badger BBQ Sauce.  Now, as a guy that enjoys humor, creativity, and food – I was sold.  I created an account and donated to the project.  Soon, I’ll be watching my front doorstep for my very own jar of Honey Badger BBQ Sauce.  You might not be a foodie like me, but there are loads of fun projects out there sure to appeals to a very diverse audience.

I heard on the radio that October is the worst month for pedestrian accidents.  The revolights project is for bikers, but it is geared toward safety.  Plus, I think bikers are just as much in danger as pedestrians from the texting and driving maniacs out there.  Have you come across a Kickstarter project that convinced you to contribute, or at least one that peaked your interest?  If so, let me know in the comments.

Here is a fun video of Revolights cruising the Stanford campus.
