Although stimulus checks have proven politically popular in the past, they have come almost exclusively during recessions or emergencies. The American economy is in neither at the moment. Rebate ch...

Food truck sweet truck yummy located in Lancing, Tn now moves to Wartburg. They are next door to our own Tommy Francis who runs Morgan County Today. They are looking for local pastries made in your own kitchens to help get your products out to the public maybe even get you started in your own bakery. This will give Tanners a run for their money when it comes to ice cream and pastries. Two great places to hang out at to bad there is no Italian bakery that serves coffee with chairs and small table while the old guys sit gossip enjoying a cigar while eating a biscotti and drinking coffee. But at least we can hang out eat a cone and look at our town grow. Lets keep mom and pop stores in business and say goodbye to big box companies who only care about the bottom line and not the people who shop in their stores.
