glad your joking , because a cracker barrel was a barrel of hard tack. cracker/biscuit a food of voyages , travels and fed as a portable ration that needed no cooking or refrigeration.

the buissness model is to place stores/restaurants along major travel corridors and be a comforting place to eat while traveling.

In their description about themselves, they made no secret of their agendas , just the same as some of the other big banks that have recently gone under and want bailing out, because of those same ideologies . Reading their trigger words , was enough for me. It made me ill reading all the woke agenda stuff right in their website descriptions.

I found the perfect small town bank in MT , and I love it. Should have transferred years ago.

I found out, I wasn't the only one jumping ship . The gal whom I dealt with , as I withdrew my accounts to put in my new bank, bemoaned the fact that a bunch of long time customers were doing the same as I.

She said the girls on the team there, who all know me, were still working there and they will miss me. I told them I will miss them too. I told them it wasn't them at all. But when they are now told to do something, they have to follow the new owner's orders.

I don't know how long banks can hold out and not comply with this flood of American Fascism .

Was that Umpqua Bank that took over your local bank?
Umpqua took over my local Columbia Bank last week. I went in the day before the takeover and moved my accounts to Timberland Bank; a local owned bank.

I believe the two that are closing are within the city limits. The others are outside the limits. The Cracker Barrels are in the Portland Metro area.

I personally don’t feel sorry for any of these Democrat liberal run cities falling apart or the people living in them that voted for the wacko politicians running them.


We said the same thing when Minneapolis was burning, we didn't care, found it amusing, etc. Guess what happened, all the people who could afford to leave moved out my way and now land prices are ridiculous, there are a ton more houses, apartments even in small towns, farms sold for houses. It sucks.

I wonder what they’d do if a farmer bought the abandoned parts of Minneapolis and began farming it.

Crack Barrel closed because of their gawd awful bland food . They couldn't figure it out

Chinamart ironically closed for the very libtard , woke , big government , defund the police crap
They support .

The freaks that run the city of Portland will in no way put 2 and 2 together .....2+2 =5

The PNW is one of the most beautiful places on Earth !

Too bad the liberal freaks in places like Portland and Seattle have turned these places and surrounding areas into great big Sholes !!!!

So will any of them change their voting habits or do they remain slow learners?


Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

Thats a fact.
I spent most of my life in Nebraska.
Then Florida.
Now NW Arkansas
There are too many people. Everywhere.
The little settlement we live in is just outside Fayetteville. Where the Univerdity is.
Our little village doesn't have street lights, yet just outside the village is gated communities with million dollar homes.
First California, Washington, Oregon, New York, Colorado, now Montana, Idaho, Texas.
It's a nonstop situation.
