GoDaddy is the Ticketmaster of web hosting.
Remember how I said my hosting for this blog was set to renew in early March, and that I had the money to pay it in my Venmo account?
Well, I thought I did. But GoDaddy didn’t tell me about additional taxes and fees that would be added on last-minute. My payment was declined. Venmo notified me that I was less than $10 short.
My stress level was off the chart. It all worked out though – a friend stuck the difference in my Venmo account and I retried the transaction. It processed successfully. So y’all are stuck with this blog for another year.
Heard a couple of rumors that I’ll share…
One rumor is that the Downtown core is getting another chicken restaurant. This one, I’m told, won’t serve alcohol, although it will be in a location where alcohol was once served.
Hmmm… with Crazy Coop and Wingman both recent additions to the area, I wonder if the dining scene is getting oversaturated with chicken.
The other rumor is a caveat emptor for Downtown renters. Let’s say you pay $1700 a month for your place. You get a notice on your door saying your lease is due for renewal at the new rate of $1800. But you do some searching online and find that similar units in your building are being advertised for $1500. You go to the leasing office with this info, and they write you up a new lease for $1500.
Vacancies are high right now and the core is a renters’ market.
The Trumpster will address a joint session of Congress Tuesday, but it’s technically not a State of the Union.
