Locals browse the aisles just to see what catches their eye. Travelers swing by simply because they can’t believe a place like this still exists. In an era where convenience often wins, Hometown Video stand...

Cash on DoorDash is one of those topics that gets people talking. Some swear it doesn’t exist. Some say they’ve used it. Some drivers have it turned on but have never seen a single cash order. And customers often ask, “Why can’t I just pay cash?” So let’s break it down— from every angle —so Nevada, MO knows exactly how it works. 1. First Things First: DoorDash Does Allow Cash… But Not Everywhere DoorDash doesn’t offer a “cash” button inside the regular app checkout. Instead, cash is only available through DoorDash Drive , which is the system restaurants use when they dispatch a Dasher for their own website or phone‑in orders. That means: Not every restaurant has it turned on Not every driver opts in Not every customer will ever see it as an option It’s a feature that exists—but only when all three sides line up. 2. How Cash Orders Work for Restaurants For a restaurant, cash‑on‑delivery is optional . They must manually enable it in their DoorDash Drive settings. When they turn it on: T...

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be performing live in Pittsburg, Kansas on April 25. I’ll be bringing my indie‑rock‑meets‑acoustic one‑man show to TJ Lealand’s, and I’m really looking forward to sharing an evening of original music with a new crowd.

I’m grateful for every chance to take these tunes on the road, and Pittsburg is a stop I’m genuinely excited about. If you’re nearby, I’d love to see you there.
