Just a nugget of history. Dollar General was founded 20 miles from Bowling Green, KY in the small town of Scottsville, KY. It's headquarters were there until a few years ago. It's now headquartered out of Goodlettsville, TN which is about 45 miles from Bowling Green.

Actually, you reminded me of this store I've been to several times over the years when I've had to drive through this area:
Where do unclaimed bags end up? Alabama
Most airlines unsuccessful at reuniting passenger and parcel sell lost items here
Missing something?
Unclaimed Baggage Center is a retail store located in Scottsboro, AL (about two hours south of Nashville, TN and about 45 minutes east of Huntsville, AL) The store, which started about 40 years ago, purchases unclaimed bags and cargo and resells the items. The airlines make every effort to return luggage and most bags that end up in Scottsboro have no identification and no clues of the owner. The bags don't arrive at the center until three to four months after the travel date.

Is it a penny stock?
If so, I'll need 100!

Yup, just on the north side of Nashville. Goodlettsville is also know for it's fine Little League teams these days. US champs a couple of years ago.

You couldn't afford it.
They will have to expand stores in WV since more coal miners will be out of work soon.
I do wonder if there was a bidding war or if Go Daddy just dropped out and $ General said,"eh, why not?" With 10x the revenue of GoDaddy, it may have a higher payout. Wouldn't that be something.
Good luck on BeinSports.
Yes, the name sucks. It is easy to poke fun of and will make every other conference feel that much better about their place in the universe.

Not quite sure what is wrong with Belk. It's been around since 1888 and is a NC retail staple, shouldn't even be mention alongside Dollar General.

I agree, Belk is good, they have some decent stores.
How 'bout a 7/11 bowl?

It's just one of the first that popped into my mind where the bowl game is strictly the name of the sponsor. I realize there's more but "traditionally" it's followed with the city or location....like the R&L Carrier New Orleans Bowl, the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, Gildan New Mexico Bowl and etc. No disrepect to Belk, was just using it as an example
