No more!

President Trump and his corrupt party must go before they do get us into another war. Wise men choose peace; foolish ones choose war. Violence leads to more violence – anyone with a brain and common sense knows that. We’re all Americans, most just prefer with wiser choice: peace. Stop the wars and save our […]

It towers over everything else and […]

As we heard about how bad the fires were in Australia, many American firefighters left their homes and flew there to help. […]

Four story buildings are ruining the charm of the downtown

I totally disagree! These buildings are ruining the charm of our town. The first one was bad enough. I suggest the builder look at the empty old high school and do his magic there.
