One Cool Thing 8-18-2020 Heroes 40th

Heroes in Charlotte celebrates 40 years with a outdoor dollar sale this labor day weekend. Check out those long box deals. Lots of comics for your dollar. I think about the changes to the comic book industry that Heroes has seen over 40 years. Sometimes the store tells a story of the clientele but to make it for forty years is a very impressive feat in any retail venture. Congrats Heroes!

One Cool Thing 8-15-2020 Local Buggy Food Truck

We went out and found the Local Buggy Food Truck today. It’s tucked away at 803 Old Fairview Rd in Asheville, NC. Hidden but not far from main roads. It was raining when we arrived but still a good crowd ordering.
It was worth it. I had a great Chorizo Torta, Milo a cheeseburger and Jessica two tacos. Everything was fresh and a great pick me up on a raining day. We will be back.

One Cool Thing 8-12-2020 Agents of Shield

Agents of Shield ends a seven season run tonight on Abc. While Marvel Studios had hit after hit at the theater, Marvel television struggled. But somehow ABC kept renewing Shield despite uneven story arcs and sagging ratings.

I tuned in weekly for seven years because I couldn’t quit Marvel but I’m not sure this show will have any lasting meaning for me as a fan. But still 7 years of tv is an accomplishment.

One Cool Thing 8-10-2020 Perry Mason

Perry Mason just wrapped up it’s first season on HBO. The show chose to start at Mason’s life as a private eye that then morphed into him becoming a lawyer under less than legit circumstances.

The show has some off episodes that kind of fill in his journey but the cinematography in those still carry it through. It’s a great update on the old La noire lawyer and I’ll watch more during the planned second season.
