Heather Cathleen Cox

By HEATHER CATHLEEN COX Staff Writer reporter@sbnewspaper.com  I wasn’t ready to rise or shine, so I remained tucked in my king size bed until the last possible moment.

RESACA CITY STREETS: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow…But Why?

Joe Bocanegra

By JOE BOCANEGRA Special to the NEWS In any city, change is everywhere. Empty lots mysteriously grow up into flourishing businesses, then back to empty lots.

HEATHER HOPES: It’s Good to Be You

Heather Cathleen Cox

By HEATHER CATHLEEN COX Staff Writer reporter@sbnewspaper.com  To say I love to write is something of an understatement because writing is more like an extension of me than it is an actual effort.

HEATHER HOPES: How to Be A Human

Heather Cathleen Cox

By HEATHER C. COX Staff Writer reporter@sbnewspaper.com  In a time crunch, I rolled up to the drive thru at a fast food chain. You know the drill. I waited behind three or four vehicles until it was my turn to order. I rolled down my window. “Hi. Could I have an un-sweet tea with lemon, …
