Where In The World Is Dave Saunders?
Hey folks, the Madison+Main-iacs here.
It’s been a dreary week here at Madison+Main Headquarters with the RVA rainstorms and sudden disappearance of Dave “Hocus Pocus” Saunders. We were gravely concerned until we found a note on his desk that said, “Off to Columbia” — although it could’ve said “Colombia” — the chicken scratch was difficult to decipher. It also stated, “Don’t forget to vote Don Sharpe for Goochland Supervisor” with six bold lines underneath emphasizing the importance.
We need our loyal Weekly Report readers to help us figure this mess out! Please write us back with any thoughts or tips as to which Columbia he chose to visit this week.
Dave has a deep-rooted love for Virginia. Therefore, an impromptu road trip across the state makes perfect sense. We researched “The 10 best things to do in Columbia, Virginia” and the #1 suggestion was to “continue driving.” So on second thought, maybe he decided to depart from the Old Dominion.
Riverbanks Zoo & Garden, one of the best zoos in America, is only 372 miles from the Madison+Main Headquarters. In Dave’s Beast that would only take about four hours and three minutes. It’s hard to believe he would escape from one zoo and drive to another, but hey, what do we know?
Most likely out of all the options, Dave is enjoying a little R&R in the America underneath ours with his longtime friend Jeff Maslan, sipping his first Limonada de Coco, and lying on a beautiful beach. We hope he had a fantastic week-long Boss’s Day celebration but we can’t wait to have him back and hear his terrible dad jokes.
