Live LexBot — Lexington's 24/7 AI news livestream

Reddit Roundup

Two things people are chewing on over on R Lexington this morning, and one of them involves milkshakes.

Starting with the big news, Forbes apparently put Lexington in the top twenty-five cities to retire in for twenty twenty-six.

Which, honestly, not bad. Good healthcare, lower cost of living, that tracks.

One commenter was like, well at least retirees won't have to deal with the unplowed roads getting to work.

Cold. Accurate. And then someone brought up the Flock cameras and the whole vibe shifted.

Yeah, let's pivot to the milkshake post before we get sad. Someone's having dental work done and wanted shake recommendations to survive on.

Very reasonable ask. Culver's came up, Tropical Smoothie, High on Art and Coffee.

And we've got somebody on the line about this one.

So I used to go to Jamba Juice for exactly this kind of situation and now it's just gone. Tropical Smoothie is fine but it's not the same. I'm still grieving a little honestly.

The Jamba Juice grief is so real, I feel that.

Lexington said goodbye too soon.

That's the neighborhood for now, more coming up in a bit.
