The much older people are blaming the parents. And the teenagers say it’s all they’ve ever known. Shots rang out on 15th Avenue North, just down the road from Helen’s Kitchen,

Vote your conscience. Vote Scott Colom. When I ran for mayor of the city of Columbus in 2017, I had no idea the level of sadistic means political contenders would go to in order to snuff out the competition. The Democratic ballot was crowded, but I was the only Republican candidate. I was born of a career G.I. Methodist and a devout Catholic Filipina.

Exploring the Charming Paths of the Friendly City
I’ve taken to meandering The Friendly City at 3, 4 and 5 a.m. I thought I would take advantage of the cool air and the quiet hours before the Working Man straps his boot on, the Business Man ties his tie and the Running Man laces his Nikes. But as I started to make my way to the former Tina Watkins Washette on Highway 45 North in Columbus, Miss., another element came to life – the Hidden Homeless – driven from the open, seeking to hide from the waking hours. The bench at the
