A poem, then back to the news. Short poems from poets who write from and about the High Country, run exactly as they wrote them.
A neighbor's tip on a spot across the county line that's worth the drive. Enthusiasm with a reason, not a review. First person plural, all upside, the environment is the point.
An artist's own piece, the art first and the words second. A few lines in the artist's voice on what it is and where it came from, never an explainer. The images carry it, so the prose stays short.
The long version of a Drop of the Week note. One record, first person singular, and the writer's own history with it is the whole reason it runs. Not a review and not an argument. Name the moment the record landed.
A guest making their own case, not left917's. Signed, first person, with the writer's affiliation stated up front so readers know whose stake this is. Argue from specifics, not slogans. We edit for clarity and house style, never for the writer's conclusion.
Who decides what your water bill costs, what gets built next door, and who gets a seat at the table. Start at Part 1.
Local artists and businesses we put a light on. Their work, their words, our stage.
