News Round Up 2018

The flag rising at the WTC gets me every time too. I was only like 20 or 21 at the time so it brings back a lot of memories and feelings. As for the challenger I was only in 1st or 2nd grade and we were not allowed to watch it or that is what I remember. I was really too young to really understand all of what had happened so I do not have a connection to it like I do with 9/11. I do love this new version and can't wait to be able to see it in person.

I might be a year or two older and both events affected me greatly. I was/am a space geek who wanted to be an astronaut. For 9/11, I was at my first real job (in NJ) for a year or so and could see the NYC skyline from the top of the parking deck. I saw the second tower fall and was with people who had family and friends who worked in the financial district.

Oh, I am sure there are lots of people out there that don't have the same taste buds as me. Give me a Yuengling on tap and I am a happy man.

when I was in college the daughter of one of the owners of Yoengling was attending as well so that was sort of our unofficial official beer - definitely got my fill during those years but wills till have some occasionally for the nostalgia (much better than most of the swill by fraternity would get for parties)

My grandfather was from Pottsville, so before Yuengling made it to MA it was always a special thing when someone brought some up. Now we can get it here, so it's not as big a deal. It's better than Sam Adams, at least.

Yeah, growing up here in the heartland, frat parties consisted of PBR, Stag and Milwaukees best.

Not that I’m against beer talk I just think it’s probably best not to happen here so let’s move on

The way Disney Corner looks is probably going to be the new look of World of Disney.

Which is disappointing.

Screams Old Navy to me

i was thinking H&M but Old Navy is pretty accurate too ... really not a fan

Agreed, the outlets look that good or better.

The artwork is great but it's too much loft like, similar to h&m but less crowded with clothes.

It seems cold. Disney stores should be like shopping in a warm hug and be happy .That doesn't seem happy except for the artwork.

Just a regular pop up or an infield fly?

Disney Chief Strategy Officer Kevin Mayer Says New Streaming Service Not Designed To “Kill Netflix”

A lot of short term shops here in the UK have a similar look and also looks just like a Disney Store pop up I visited a couple of months ago.

Hopefully because this isn’t permanent like WoD that this isn’t the look they go for ALTHOUGH I do think it’s needs modernisation. That goes for Disney store in general which I think is on the cards

Not initially. With R rated content going to Hulu, surely the plan is to expand that internationally too and between the 3 services, have entertainment summed up?
