"What makes you special?"
Uniqueness
and character are traits we like in people. The more you find to admire
about a person the more you want to spend time with and get to know
them.
Our attitude toward a community is no different than those we have toward people. We rarely frequent communities with nothing special or unique to offer us and we strive to spend as much time as we possible in those which offer the best experiences in dining, entertainment and shopping.

The Best Medicine
By Emily Sladek
After a day of chaos, it was
a welcomed change for me to go to the Humorous Storytelling night at
Rose Theater. I was anticipating a relaxing evening with a few laughs; I
never doubted the entertainment that was in store, but I had
underestimated its value.
The event boasted 523 attendees who all got to marvel at the humor these two had to offer, including visitors from 9 states according to Chuck Martin of the Cape Convention and Visitors Bureau. "It was great to see old and young alike having such an enjoyable time together," said Martin. "Laughter is indeed contagious."
If ever the opportunity comes up again to see the two perform, I will be first in line to get tickets. I'm already preparing for the Storytelling Festival in April, sure to be filled with the same kind of genuine entertainment, funny and sincere alike.

Mike Zito - Greyhound Album Review
By James Layman
Let me start by saying this; to pigeonhole Greyhound as a blues album
would be a travesty. In fact, it has only the baser undertones of a
blues album. The way I see it Greyhound is more of a fully punched
passport into the annals of American music. What’s even better,
Greyhound is almost two albums in one.
The title track “Greyhound” illustrates Zito’s versatility as a song writer. For this song, he resides in a place more indicative of writers such as Steve Earle and Tom Petty. Although “Greyhound” is recognizably Zito, it does have a hint of Americana influence and it really sets what I view to be the second part of the album up nicely.

By Emily Sladek

you are a history buff, or maybe you would just like to spend a day
taken back a few eras to a time when the whole planet was an ice skating
rink. Whatever your reason, the Bollinger County Museum of Natural
History in Marble Hill invites you to come see The Ice Age on display.
