Domino's files for bankruptcy- but don't panic.
National franchisor Domino's Pizza has filed to operate under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy provisions. Our local Domino's in Pocomoke, Berlin, Ocean City, and Salisbury are all independently owned franchises and may be affected only to some degree.
(AI explains:)
When a franchisor like Domino's files for bankruptcy, independent franchises generally continue to operate because they are legally separate entities. While the parent company (franchisor) manages the brand and supply chain, individual stores are owned and managed by independent entrepreneurs who hold their own assets and liabilities.

Time←←Machine: 90 years ago this week in Pocomoke's newspaper; plus 1997.
(Note: An archived edition of the Worcester Democrat 100 years ago this week was not available. We're using the corresponding week in 1936.)
I would love to know who Admiral Byrd's detailer was. While an officer in the Navy Admiral Byrd was literally allowed to go wherever he wanted to go, do whatever he wanted to do, and spend as much money (and resources) as needed to accomplish his projects.
Your friend,
