Positions is a solid effort for Ariana Grande, although there is nothing new here

Positions is the sixth studio album by American singer and actress Ariana Grande, released on Oct. 30, 2020, by Republic Records.

The album builds on the R&B and trap pop elements of Grande’s earlier efforts, Sweetener (2018) and Thank U, Next (2019). There is also a good amount of hip hop, neo-soul, and funk featured on Positions. 

It is clearly evident that helping care for the environment is in our own interest

Here's a list of who and where you could once get a haircut and a shave in Bluffton

Check the photos at the bottom -
In our culture, the barbershop has a niche of its own.

Many barbers served Bluffton over the years. And, they have faded into the town woodwork. 

We compiled a list of them after a hearing a long lecture on the subject about 40 years ago given by the late Rolland Stratton. He knew more about Bluffton than any other person on Main Street.

I liked this book, and appreciate the local librarian who recommended it to me

Review by Robert McCool
James Patterson hits it out of the park in this double header.

“The world's best selling author” no longer writes his own books, of which he produces a plethora each year. He “coauthors” with carefully chosen writers, leading to different flavors for each book. In this example, “Murder Thy Neighbor- True Crime Thrillers” (ISBN 978-1-5387-5241-8)  he gives us two different stories of damaged people by two different authors in the same volume.

The following is a sample of the content of "Blufton Anthology - A creek runs through it." Pre-sale discounted copies are now available for $19.95 plus tax.

"The 1950s were dangerous times for kids growing up in Bluffton. We grew up in homes and went to school in buildings painted with lead paint and floors covered with asbestos tiles." - Rudi Steiner
