ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska's last two Blockbuster video stores are calling it quits, leaving just one store open in the U.S.
The stores in Anchorage and Fairbanks will close for rentals after Sunday night and reopen Tuesday for video liquidation sales through the end of August, said Kevin Daymude, general manager of Blockbuster Alaska.
"It's going to be crazy," Daymude said of the temporary reopening. He said residents were sad when they heard the news and many people have been reminiscing about their Blockbuster memories.
HOLLIDAYSBURG -- Judge Elizabeth Doyle dismissed a lawsuit Monday filed by a citizens group known as Blair County Citizens for Accurate Reassessment.
The BCCAR had sued the county's chief assessor DeAnna Heichel, the board of appeals and the company that conducted the most recent property tax assessment, Evaluator Services and Technology.
Evaluator Services and Technology assessed the property tax values in the summer of 2016, and county leaders certified the numbers last December.

Reynoldsville, PA — Cherish Creamery in Reynoldsville produces goat cheese and drinkable yogurt. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, officials said business slowed down and they laid off all of their employees.
Paula Keswick, Manager of Cherish Creamery, said in order for people to know how good goat cheese is, customers have to taste it.
Customers get that opportunity at wine events and Amish markets but with the spread of the coronavirus, those events were cancelled.
