While drinking can be a socially acceptable part of our lives, the warm weather and activities of summer may have you reaching for a glass of wine or mixed beverage more frequently than before.

Brow trends come and go with every decade. Remember the over-plucked shapes of the ’90s or the glossy, laminated arches of the ’00s? Thankfully, I’ve kept my brow game fairly conservative and consistent for the past two decades. There was a bleached brow moment from my early 20s, but that was short-lived. Regardless of trends,

The picture of Donald Trump’s fist in the air and the blood on his face moments after the assassination attempt on him has already become an iconic symbol that will be seen for generations to come. Some have even gone so far as to believe that it may go down in history, like the raising
We know that when you get a CT scan or experience other kinds of medical imaging, the staff taking the images needs to protect themselves by leaving the room. Think about when you need an x-ray at your dental office — they put that heavy layer of protection on you just for a picture of

President Biden may have tipped his hand with some of his comments last week. The President, under increasing pressure from his own party and those who support the democratic effort, has been blatantly defiant that he will remain in the race.

While there are numerous youth sports programs, many operate on a ‘pay-for-play’ basis, often excluding underprivileged and underserved youth. This is where ‘Lil’ City Big City Flag Football’, a unique nonprofit sports program, steps in.
