أغسطسWhy does this tiny Kentucky town have six dollar stores?
Today, without a major industry to anchor the local economy, a quarter of workers in Olive Hill commute to another county for their jobs, and 7% work outside of Kentucky entirely, according to Census data from the latest American Community Survey.
Players are going to want certain things and how it works logistically and financially might be two separate things," the 31-year-old told Sky Sports. "I think the players need to be at the forefront of it.
It's back to the grind for the Wildcats. The good news is they have a quarterback capable of matching Duggan bullet for bullet if this becomes a shootout.
Nebraska transfer Adrian Martinez accounted for 323 total yards at Iowa State, including an 81-yard touchdown pass to Phillip Brooks two minutes into the game.
Duggan had some good moments during the previous three seasons for the Horned Frogs (6-0, 3-0 Big 12), but nothing quite like this.
Through six games, he has completed 69.5 percent of his passes for 1,591 yards with a 16-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
It was yet another notch in the belt of the senior QB who lost his starting job before the season opener at Colorado but regained it when Chandler Morris sprained his left knee.
Duggan appears to be in no danger of giving the reins back anytime soon.
Those unidentified remains were permanently interred at Ardennes American Cemetery and Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery, both of which are in Belgium. But in 2017, the DPPA began exhuming unknown remains believed to be associated with unaccounted-for airmen from Operation TIDAL WAVE losses, the agency said.
They found that on a day when the school asked pupils and teachers to wear blue in support of two police officers who were recently shot and killed, the teacher instead wore a Black Lives Matter t-shirt.
But critics fear that the convenience and affordability of food at dollar stores is offset by health concerns about their food offerings, which skew toward high-calorie, ultra-processed packaged foods.
Once exhumed, the remains were dent to the agency's lab at the Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, where they were examined and identified using anthropological analysis and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis.
The median household income in Olive Hill is $49,688 - lower than the statewide figure of $55,573, but higher than is generally found in the surrounding rural parts of Carter County, where the town is located.
Two other Dollar Generals on the outskirts of Olive Hill also offer fresh produce, though on a recent visit by DailyMail.com, one produce section was poorly stocked, and the other had been cleared out while the cooler was down for repairs.
Quinn and the school's principal Annemarie V. Sciove both admitted to the parents in a meeting in February 2022 that they knew Rosenquist was peddling this mentality in the classroom, the lawsuit claims.
Merrett, the Western Illinois University academic, agreed that in some cases, a new dollar store can be a boon to rural areas where local businesses have shuttered, and residents have few or no retail options.
Kim Adkins, a single mom with two school-age kids at home, said she has to drive to Morehead to find her preferred mayonnaise brand, Duke's, or the spice mix she uses to make her family's secret potato salad recipe.
Dollar General, like other major retailers, uses an algorithm to suggest new store locations, factoring in a wide variety of data points, including population density, traffic patterns, and nearby businesses and attractions.
However, math sat prep Wells, the newspaper editor, noted that the proliferation of dollar stores in Olive Hill has coincided with a local ordinance passed several years ago allowing the sale of alcohol within the city limits.
'I do think alcohol sales have something to do with it,' Wells told DailyMail.com of the concentration of dollar stores in Olive Hill. 'It's a great place to sell alcohol for people going out to camp' at nearby Carter Caves State Park, he added.
In fact, residents of Olive Hill jokingly refer to the Dollar General closest to downtown as the ‘Olive Hill Walmart' due to its wide variety of goods, including a small produce section stocked with fruits and vegetables.
‘If you're in a small town that hasn't seen new retail in a long time, you see new development, a new yellow sign, there's something intangible and positive about having that new development,' he told DailyMail.com in a phone interview.
Merrett said that as Walmart expanded across the country in the 1980s and 90s, many family-owed stores in smaller surrounding towns were not able to adapt, and shut down. 'In many rural places that used to have a grocery store, they lost that grocery store,' he said.
The hamlet's downtown features rows of shuttered businesses that speak to better days, but a spark of economic life remains, with several local restaurants, a hardware store, and florist and boutique shops dotting the small commercial district.
