Empty time capsule
DERRY, N.H. (AP) — Officials in a NewHampshire town are trying to figure out how a recently opened time capsule from50 years ago has nothing in it.
Library director Cara Potter in Derry tells WMUR-TV that since she started there five years ago, the safe has been sitting on a shelf. Before that, it was kept at the old municipal building in town.
The combination was on the back of the safe. Potter said it took several tries to get it open recently on the 50th anniversary of when it was sealed in 1969. But it was empty.
No one has a list of what was originally put inside.
Officials said they have no idea who could have opened it and taken the items. They even speculated that nothing was put in there in the first place.
Georges’ mural
WACO, Texas (AP) — A Texas restaurant called George’s that features a mural honoring famous men with the same name has been changed to avoid a trademark dispute.
The Waco Tribune-Herald reports owner Sammy Citrano discovered that an alphabet letter he’d put on the mural is a Waco city trademark.
Citrano polled the public on how best to change the mural and still salute all things George. The images include former presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and GeorgeWashington— plus retired boxer and businessman George Foreman, comic George Lopez and country music superstar George Strait.
The updated mural shows Interstate 35 access road bridges over Lake Brazos.
Citrano says anyone taking a photo of the mural will know they’re in Waco, Texas.
