Around Town

When I was a kid growing up in Three Rivers, there weren’t any fast-food restaurants. I’m sure a lot of you remember Lee’s Ice Cream on the corner of West Michigan and Lincoln Avenues, but that was about it. There were quite a few coffee shops in the area, but because of “progress”, they slowly faded away. If you wanted …

I am Sam, I am! I am only seven months old, I am a little boy that needs a lot of affection and I love to play. It is just so lonely in this cage with no people to play with. Please stop by to visit with me, if you do you will fall in love. You can find me …

DeAnn Hollis has been quoted as saying, “The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.” I am a strong supporter of the act of volunteering. I volunteer as often as I can and wish that I could do more, but my plate …

They call me Zip. I am a one and a half year old male Min Pin/Aussie mix. I want you to know that I do not have a tail. I like to go for walks on a leash but I do need some practice with that. I sit and accept treats very gently. I am kind of skinny so some …

Welcome to 2012. I’m pretty sure most of us are sitting on pins and needles waiting to see what Mother Nature has in store for us. Judging from the predictions I’ve heard, our winter weather will arrive late and then hit us with a vengeance. I’m happy with what we’ve had so far and wouldn’t mind if it would continue …

It is hard to believe that 2011 is just hours away from being over. It seems like the year just started and here we are wrapping it up. As we sit on the doorstep of another new year, it is again time to sit back and reflect on the year that was. So much happened this past year that it …
