The Corner Penthouse

For almost every December from 2005 to 2017, I posted an "Unusual Holiday Song" on Spook Central as a gift to all of my dear readers. The Corner Penthouse site didn't exist at the time, so this was the only way I could share these peculiar musical oddities. Eventually, I grew tired of the feature, and it wasn't really appropriate for Spook Central anyway - none of the songs were Ghostbusters related - so I stopped. I eventually started a Halloween Treat feature every October, which was more fitting for the site. This past year, I started moving as much of the non-Ghostbusters content as I could from Spook Central to The Corner Penthouse. As a holiday treat to all of you, I present the entire collection of Unusual Holiday Songs that originally appeared on Spook Central.

After giving them second, third, and fourth chances, I am no longer going to give them anymore chances and have decided to stop visiting any Subway restaurants. Read on to find out why...

When you are a low-income family, you tend to eat at fast food restaurants because your budget doesn't allow you to regularly dine at healthier eating establishments. (Burger King and McDonald's use to offer salads, but both took them off their menus during the pandemic.) That the Burger King restaurant here in Valley Stream, New York is centrally located to all of the places where I normally run errands to, makes it a convenient place to get a cheap, quick bite. Lately, Burger King has been doing things that are giving me the desire to go out of my way to eat elsewhere. Read on to find out more...
