The Deaths Return to Centralia

Disabled, Elderly Prevented from Voting

The voting site has been moved out of the Lashkowitz High Rise, in downtown Fargo, with a population of almost 300 people. Once again the poor, elderly, disabled and the handicapped have to be forgotten about in order to save a little money. Most of the people at the high rise do not have cars. To move the voting site to the Civic Center is not a long way for most people; however, for the elderly, disabled and handicapped, it could just as well be 100 miles.

The Kansas City King Returns to The Venue

“Redbelt” for Fans of Literate, Elliptical Mystery

Interestingly all four films I watched over the weekend, although drastically different in genres and styles, had the same theme of one character struggling to maintain self-honor by doing what was best for others, instead of thinking only of him or herself.

Jazzie Mae’s Place: Fresh Food, Artistic Flair, Organic Ingredients

Jazzie Mae’s finally opened on April 26. It is everything I hoped for and more: a bright sunny eating area adorned with fresh flowers; lively music playing; a refrigerated section of organic fruits, drinks and salads to go. The food is fresh and wonderful. It will take many visits to taste my way through their menu. I couldn’t stop smiling all afternoon.

Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright

Q: I’ve gained 10 pounds recently, and it sounds like a joke, but others have said the same thing. I sometimes have trouble sleeping, and have lost my appetite. Do you think I should get checked out by a doctor?

Grand Theft Auto 4: Seventh Installment

Fans of Grand theft Auto may be surprised and amazed at the gameplay changes. GTA4 makes everything relevant, and I mean everything. No more just hopping into parked cars. If the car is locked, you first have to smash out the window and (if need be) hotwire your new ride. This game is awesome. It’s going to be hard to beat for game of the year.
