Down On The Corner

By Paul Moffett

Labor Day Weekend, a.k.a., the beginning of Fall, is here and the onslaught of Fall Festivals is close behind. Too many to list here: check out the LMN calendar for a more complete lineup. Have a good time but please don’t drink and drive.

Your humble editor has been busy cleaning up content on the website and making it more consistent, which means it should load a bit better and look better, too. The back issues span a period from before the Internet to the current day, so the coding was kinda iffy, early on.

Have a cool September!
