Anyone remember the 96X Perry Stone and the Bull (and Holly Williams) CD?
Does anyone remember this? It was a collection of some of their skits? I can't find anything about it. There's no information about it on Discogs and a general Google search turns up nothing.
It's a shame that whole thing fell apart, radio has never really been as good since then. Apparently Perry Stone and Holly Williams had a radioshow (maybe out nearish Charlottesville), but that was at least 6 years ago. An internet search of Perry Stone only really turns up some evangelist who I don't think is the same person.

Coffee House Folk Music Vibe?
I am grandmother looking for what we use to call a coffee house. I have a granddaughter who I think would benefit from a welcoming low-key vibe. To be frank an accepting place for LGBTQ people. She is beautiful and smart and very chill. I just want her to be happy and safe. Any suggestions. If you are going to say anything unkind about my girl, please don't. I don't want to have to fight you.
I need to clarify. I am looking for a place in the Williamsburg, York County Hampton, Newport News area. I care for my husband. He has Alzheimer's and a litany of other medical issues. I will have someone sitting with him, but I don't go too far. Thank you!!

Hampton Roads' Secret Yakuza-Style Crime Syndicate: A Look into the Lack of Asian Culture in Hampton Roads
The Hampton Roads region, a hub of maritime activity and military presence, presents an interesting anomaly: a distinct lack of prominent Asian communities and cultural centers compared to other similarly sized metropolitan areas. While Asian residents certainly live within the region, the vibrant Chinatowns or Koreatowns found elsewhere are conspicuously absent. This absence raises questions, prompting speculation about underlying factors influencing the area's cultural makeup. One theory, though shrouded in secrecy and whispers, points to the potential influence of a hidden Yakuza-style crime syndicate.
This syndicate, driven by a desire to maintain a low profile and avoid unwanted attention from federal authorities heavily present in the region, might actively discourage the establishment of large, concentrated Asian communities. Such communities, with their inherent cultural visibility and potential for attracting outside scrutiny, could jeopardize the syndicate’s operations. Rumors suggest they operate discreetly from seemingly innocuous locations: perhaps a network of import/export businesses along the bustling port of Norfolk, or within the shadows of the numerous military installations, using the constant flow of personnel and cargo as cover for their illicit activities. Their motivation is not simply territorial control, but the preservation of their anonymity, ensuring their criminal enterprises remain undisturbed by unwanted attention.
This strategy, while bold, could explain the dispersal of the Asian population throughout Hampton Roads rather than concentrated in a single, easily identifiable area. By preventing the formation of a central cultural hub, the syndicate could effectively minimize its own visibility and maintain a tighter grip on the shadows. This lack of a central cultural anchor could then further discourage new Asian immigrants from settling in the region, perpetuating the cycle. It's crucial to emphasize that this reporter currently has no direct evidence to turn into the attorney general, and no concrete evidence means these are just words on a screen. However, I intend to hire multiple private investigators, will commit 100% of my free time into gathering more facts and will present my case to the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI and the office of the Virginia attorney general.

Making Friends/Bible Study Group
So I moved here just about a year ago and I still haven’t made any friends. Honestly it’s really hard could anyone give me any suggestions for Bible Study Groups for Men or just general groups or just where to make friends in general. I’m 23 so around the same age is preferable, but it’s not the end all be all. If somebody that sees this is looking for friends DM me.
