Instead of forcing kids to rely on their parents for every trip, cities can provide safe, connected mobility for all ages. This fosters early freedom and responsibility, shaping more independent, capable kids than those confined to car dependency.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike.
I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it.

A text amendment that has been in progress for a year is deemed “moving too fast” for our city council to approve. Let’s be honest. Fortunately, most of it passed, but the housing portion did not. We were so close to eliminating single-family exclusionary zoning in Fayetteville.
