What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLagniappe's co-publisher Ashley Trice just filed a column titled Facebook Marketplace gets weird, and folks, that is spiritually Florida!
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLagniappe is a newspaper. The column ran Sunday in its Opinion section.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAlabama touches Florida. I checked the map. That's practically a handshake.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA border is not a handshake, Chip. Now, the column sits under a label called Hidden Agenda.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the weird couches are the agenda?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI'd call it a cover story. Nobody files a couch under Hidden Agenda by accident. That is a classification.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFlorida Man Rating: four alligators. Alabama gets partial credit.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThen we ask who's buying the couch. And why a dead drop has a listing price.
