How did Firehouse Subs get so big? Their sandwiches are terrible.
Started in Jacksonville, FL in 1994 by two brothers who were former firefighters. Gained traction in a sandwich chain market that wasn't so saturated then, playing on their former careers for customer sympathies & loyalty. I liked their sandwiches for the first 10 years or so, but as they expanded with franchise locations it seemed like they lost quality control with their steaming process. Lately they've been a soggy mess.

What the hell are you talking about? Firehouse is still good.

48°F in St. Louis this morning. Hockey weather is coming - I want my hockey!

I hear ya, if the OHL season had started there was a good chance last night would have been the season opening game for Mississauga. I miss live hockey.

It would have been a preseason game today in the NHL pre-covid

Instead we are playing the finals today :eek:

And the issue is your OHL is in serious danger of contraction

A big league team like a NHL team can survive a pandemic

A minor league OHL developmental team cannot

Need to get a toaster oven today and more furniture to fill in the basement. Too many loose boxes around in the basement with too much sports memorabilia which needs to be displayed.

I'm having to drop down to NA3HL just to see hockey played in person near home starting in October. I'm in withdrawal, I need a fix. :confused:
