Colin Harris:This is a story about redemption. Early high school Colin was not a cool guy. I was a “pick-me” boy, which in terms of grade school personas is only marginally better than a “where my hug at” guy, both of whom are bottom of the barrel persona-wise.

On Saturday, Feb. 1, the Carnegie Center for Arts and History was re-opened to the public after months of renovation. Before its renovation, it was originally the Andrew Carnegie library, built in 1901, but has since evolved into a museum focusing specifically on West Tennessee musicians and artifacts. Not only has it had a facelift, but the Carnegie Center was also repurposed with a bold new vision. This vision was the brainchild of Aaron Hardin, photographer and former Union professor.

It’s that time of the year again. On Thursday, Jan. 23 after being delayed twice due to the catastrophic fires in LA, the 2025 Oscar Nominees dropped. The results were shocking. Sweeping the competition, the film “Emilia Pérez” has been nominated for 13 Oscars, putting it on par with films like “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.”The Best Actor nominations came with a mixed bag of emotions as well.
