Fourth of July is just around the corner…
get ready for a ho’ down. Yup, it’s the Pantego NC Mud Run. Don’t forget the Belhaven Fourth of July parade.
On second thought — forget it. Stay home in the air conditioning. Watch the Fourth of July celebrations on PBS. That’s where the real Independence Day goodness [...]
If you’re going to spend the day outdoors when it’s hotter than the surface of the sun — spend it having fun.

We’ve got a city manager who hired himself and a mayor elected by the city planner who used to be our mayor… This, folks, is democracy at its finest. And now Rumley wants to eliminate Carolyn Stroud and Louis Martin’s jobs. Washington doesn’t need a communications director? A chief building inspector? Surely you jest. Speculation [...]
