Marshawn Lynch Buys Oakland Restaurant That Opened In 1967 To Keep It From Closing

Despite his rough and tough appearance and reputation, Marshawn Lynch is one of the NFL’s leading humanitarians.

The running back is back playing in his hometown of Oakland, California this season, mainly because of Lynch’s strong connection with the city he grew up in.

Cassie Nickleson loves Oakland just as much as Lynch does, having opened Scend’s Restaurant & Bar, an authentic soul food spot in 1967. Half a century later, the 80-year-old decided Scend’s would have to close with her retiring. Lynch wasn’t going to let that happen.

Lynch purchased the restaurant in order to keep it open, and will officially take over ownership in August, with no plans to change the menu.

“I’m comfortable with him and I like him,” Nickelson told KTVU. Apparently that stems from a long history in Oakland, when a nine-year-old Lynch bought french fries and hamburgers from Nickelson when she ran a catering business from her apartment.

It’s a happy ending for fans of the restaurant, who’ve been eating Nickelson’s food for decades, and for fans of Lynch, whose return to Oakland has been much celebrated.

  129. Comments didn’t drive as many visitors as I wanted, but considering that it’s user-generated content, it’s not that bad. It could be that Google may not be placing as much value on text created through comments or words appearing lower on a page (since comments are located below each blog post) as it does on the post itself.”
    However, to figure out how much additional traffic he was receiving from those rankings, Neil took a look at the actual number of impressions and clicks that those rankings received.

  130. First Neil found that he averages about 176 comments per post, with 22.6 words per comment, which means that allowing blog comments nets him an average of 3,978 extra words on each page.
    The theory is that the more blog comments you have, the more content you’ll have on each page, and the more keywords you should rank for, which should increase your overall search traffic. However, Neil was not convinced that this is actually the case, so he did some research.

  133. To say a blog is not a blog when it doesn’t have comments can’t be true, because my blog works just fine without comments. My ideas are definitely not perfect, but at a certain point I had to make a decision about where my focus would lie. Did I want hordes of Internet randoms deciding where my ideas needed to go, or did I want to proactively choose the opinions that would influence my ideas?”
    The act of commenting theoretically increases the likelihood that the user will also engage in other ways, such as subscribing to your newsletter, or even making a purchase down the road

  134. Without comments, a blog isn’t really a blog. To me, blogging is not just about publishing content, but also the two-way communication and community building aspects behind it.”
