It’s a shame Obama didn’t come and visit the troops that died for our country. He should have come to Warriors Walk and shown some respect for them.

New Hope Church of the Nazarene has the Angel Food program. We also take food stamps. This is good, quality food.

Can anyone please tell me whether the smoke issue inside bars is a health issue and where you can find out about the safety of it?

You are either country or you’re not. You are either Southern or you’re not. If you were not born in the South, you can’t be a Southern gal. So stop pretending to be something you’re not.
