1. Give me your craziest Sunnidale toboggan hill story
Original title:Gimme your most unhinged Sunnidale tobogganing hill stories
Post summary:I'm working on some Sunnidale entries for the Kempenfelt Supply Co. archive (shameless plug) and apparently I've arrived at the hill. Where the ambulance parks in February. Yes, I know it's August. Unfortunately, that's where my brain is right now. So, who has the craziest Sunnidale toboggan memory? Recent or long ago. What did you call it? Was there a specific route you swore by? Jumps? GT snow racers vs inflatables vs wooden death traps? Trees? Injuries? Near-death experiences

2. Kerry's Bookstore downtown - owner?
Original title:Kerrys Book Store downtown - owners??
Post summary:I'm posting this in hopes of getting in touch with the owner of Kerry's Bookstore downtown. The store is a disaster - someone was struggling with addiction in the back of the store where the bookshelves are, passed out, and others were leaning on the front counter (with knives strapped to them), while the staff there did nothing to help these people or maintain a safe store for customers. It's very sad. The store seems to be a family business with generations of history, but I don't think

I often wonder what this person is struggling with. Maybe drugs, maybe mental health, maybe both.
