HELLO, kings and queens. My name is Shawn L.
No matter where I’m at, I refer to people I meet as “King” or “Queen.” It started when I was in prison. In prison some will go against you, but some will go along with you. It didn’t matter who you were, I was gonna call you king or queen. I was known as Mr. King and Queen in prison because of that.

Solving the Food Desert
|
Nashville has looked at the problem of food deserts, and done a few things to solve it. For instance, you can double your EBT at the downtown Farmer’s Market. Edible Nashville publishes a yearly guide to local farmers and regional farmers that offer CSA’s. The town of Andernach, Germany, with a population of 30,000, has managed over the last 16 years to create a complete Food Island. They have 38,000 square feet of food growing in all public spaces.
