Riverdale calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle come down

Come outta’ the cupboard, ya Bettys and Veronicas

A couple thoughts:

— Archie has two vintage-style pubs coming in December, as well. Click here to check ’em out.

— I shaved my head into a mohawk when I was a college freshman. More for kicks than anything. The punks didn’t appreciate it. Still, I freaked out the elderly ladies at the local Brigham’s ice cream parlor. So, that should count for something, right?
