Houston Harris, better known by his ring name of Bobo Brazil, broke down so many barriers of racial segregation when he entered professional wrestling in the late 40s.

The return of warm weather in summer to Michigan means that more people are going to be out on the lake, enjoying the great weather and catching some rays while staying cool. Hanging out at the beach is fun, but the last thing you wanna deal with when you go to get a cold beverage or a cool sandwich for lunch, is getting your fingers amputated or crushed under the hazard of your cooler.

The city of Kalamazoo is mourning the loss of one of our city's most prolific and well-known barbecue pit bosses. Terrance Burton, lovingly known as Big T, who is a part of TNT – Lil Bros Barbecue, has sadly passed away. The barbecue restaurant was started by Terrence and Tisha (TnT), who are high school sweethearts, whose love of family, the Lord, and great barbecue brought them together to become one of the most iconic barbecue places in the city off Portage Road.

If it weren’t for the service of our vets, we wouldn’t have the freedoms that we have today. We owe a massive debt of gratitude to the men and women who lay it all on the line to protect our freedoms. That’s why it disgusts me that there are so many homeless veterans in America. After these brave men and women return home, they are clearly not given the support that they need from the government, so it’s up to everyday people to try and make things work out for them.

We are unfortunately living in a time where young women are being preyed upon and need to be protected and watched out for more than ever. Between the threat of human trafficking and, in general, all the weirdos that are out there, we have to be extra careful to protect our kids from any harm. Nobody is quite sure how it happened, but recently, multiple underage girls, even some as young as 14 years old, were seen in a video showing young girls at a strip club in Detroit.
