Tucked away just off the highway in Ridgway, Greenwood’s is something of a culinary portal, transporting diners more than a thousand miles away. From the buttermilk biscuits on the menu to the Widespread Panic posters on the wall, the invitation is clear: welcome to Georgia, the land of heirloom grits, collard greens and catfish. kA 4=2DDlQA`Qm*@F >:89E 36 DFCAC:D65 E@ 7:?5 $@FE96C? 4F:D:?6 @?

When I walked into Dennis’ office the other day and he told me that Trump had named Matt Gaetz as his pick for attorney general, I thought he was joking. He assured me he wasn’t and I began to feel dizzy. This happens sometimes these days. I hear these things and I’m not sure if they’re real or if I’ve entered some sort of Bizarro-dimension.

The Montrose Classical Academy has entered the next phase of its journey, and it’s a particularly intense phase — the charter school applicant is effectively being placed under the proverbial microscope by the Montrose County School District Board of Education. Following the school board’s approval of MCA’s application, the charter was forwarded to the next step in the process, during which charter board members sat before the MCSD school board to field questions.

It looks like the city of Montrose is about to make a mistake. A misguided misstep.

As the school board meeting wrapped up Monday evening, Kay Alexander appeared to be enjoying a moment of guarded excitement.
