Question for your listeners: What's the best part of your town --and why?

Vice magazine reports a guy named ELOY LUGO voluntarily watched an ADAM SANDLER movie every day for a year.
Question for your listeners: If you had to watch a movie starring the same person every night for a year, who would it be? (PS: You can't say porn stars Ryan Driller or President Trump's babe, "Stormy Daniels").

Finally... The NY Post reports FEMA watches the Waffle House menu during hurricanes to measure the effect of a natural disaster on an area. If the Waffle House closes or limits its menu items during or after a local problem they know the community took a major hit. There are more than 2,000 Waffle House locations, mostly in the South.
The Waffle House index has three color-coded levels: Green means everything is fine (at least in the Waffle House); yellow is when the restaurant serves a limited menu, meaning the area lost power or they're running low on supplies; and red is if it's closed, showing the area has been hit hard. At least one location in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, had already closed by Wednesday night, according to the Eater website.
Question for your listeners: What chain or store would you monitor to figure out if something was out of control in your neighborhood...?
