How Can Our Community "Do Better"?

Since last Friday when many of us gathered at Pohanka of Salisbury Automotive for the "We Stand United" event....I've been thinking. Turning over some of the words that were said in my head; tossing around some phrases and statements that were made; wondering HOW does a community "do better". There must be a special ingredient in those select few places where people do, in fact, act and live in a way which promotes open dialog, respect and a culture of togetherness.

There's a question floating over my head, words in a bubble like a giant blimp hovering nearby - and I'm sure I can't be the only one thinking this: "How can we avoid being the next Ferguson, Dallas, Baton Rouge?" Honestly, someone else besides me must have considered the same exact question....right?

What better what to celebrate National Ice Cream Day than by enjoying the independent farms and dairies right here in on the Delmarva Peninsula. While while you can go to a chain place anytime, we think the REAL delicacies are found at the local shops and area creameries Below we've listed some of our favorites from Delaware and the eastern shore areas of Maryland and Virginia.

Wake up World (We can't live like this)

Why is "active shooter" a term we have all come to know? Why does it seem commonplace - almost a daily occurrence - to read about another violent act or outburst by someone walking a thin line between right and wrong?
