Halloween, how we have all missed ye.

Wearing a face covering in public spaces is a measure that the Town of Highlands board of commissioners made mandatory during the board’s August meeting.

Last week’s town board meeting was a celebratory event in many ways.

Each spring the Kentucky Derby features a number of the finest thoroughbred racehorses in the world vying for the sport’s most prestigious championship.

Chamber music may not be your thing.

Maybe you prefer rolling down the mountain roads with Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Strait, Eminem or any other musical genre turned all the way up.

Sometimes I think something has been fixed only to realize more work is needed. That has been the case with the intersection on NC 28 at Satulah and South Street.

One thing that I have noticed since I have moved is the amazing change of weather in Highlands compared to where I came from.

The town budget was passed at last Thursday’s Highlands Town Board meeting. There are several capital items that folks will notice in the coming months.

It seems like forever ago.

Back when people gathered to listen to music, show off their prized automobiles, or admire art at a public gallery.

Ok, I view myself as an elected official but, some folks probably see me as a politician. You know the saying about politicians, if they want someone to like them they need to get a dog.
