It's the Fourth of July on Thursday and I'll be skipping that day here this week. After all, what could I really suggest for you that would outshine this...

It's been an interesting local news cycle as far as the local music scene is concerned. The Mateel Community Center can't seem to catch a break, with back-to-back cancellations...
