I had no idea this place existed. The surprising thing to me, given the year, is that the clerks were men. Once the switch from counter to telephone was underway, most 1929 men were replaced with 1949 women. Didn't have to do with the WWII, just with customer facing.
June 30, 1929: Say it was early Sunday morning and you wanted to get some help writing a classified? The Minneapolis Tribune Want Ad Arcade at 4th and Marquette had you covered. It offered walk-up, in-person want ad placement and writing consultation, opening at 7 a.m. every single day of the year.

Oh, to have been there. I know people who could have, but they were too old (musically).

I remember when Korey Stringer literally died of heat stroke but I guess that was just a fever dream.

It’s hard to believe that a county commissioner candidate who would loudly rev up a gas mower claiming they’ll all be taken away would also throw a tarantula at someone and set up a fake Grindr account for her ex and commit credit card fraud and fat shame the person she threw the tarantula at

And really, what former sitcom star would perform at a dinner theater that DIDN'T have its own tarpon cannery?

Here is where I point out that Norwegians also use lye on their fish.
Meh we still have it in Norway and that's really saying something.

Come on folks, Ben Franklin would have a convertible roadster. And he'd holla "Show me your ankles!" at the ladies passing by.

New assignment, everyone: find the silliest dipshittery you recall ever seeing on the intertubes, and post it anywhere and everywhere you can as legit authority. I'll start: “The Internet is not a big truck, it is a series of tubes” -Ted Stevens, U.S. Senate, R-Alaska
I guess after a while they’ll be able to detect that “glue” is an outlier in conversations about cheese source and fix this instance, but if multiple fucksmiths work together we can salt the fucking Earth for AI
