Congratulations Jill. I feel sure you will continue to make Lincolnton a great place for fair treatment, wise decisions and a place of hospitality for all citizens of Lincolnton.
Jasmine, I really enjoyed your article as it made me feel as if I were right there with you at Hart Square Village. It is amazing to think about how ordinary tasks had to be done long ago, and I'm glad you were able to share the experience with your Dad. Thank you for sharing this adventure with your readers.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed my article and that it made you feel as though you were right there with me on my historic adventure.
City of Lincolnton Halloween Block party Oct 30th, 5-8pm, Water and S Academy streets. all welcome.
Great article and with sources provided (I am taking notes). Just one clarification - the Brown Mountain Lights are not caused by ghosts, but by alien spacecraft. :)
Thank you! I was inspired by the video sent to me and figured it would make a fun article with Halloween right around the corner. There are a lot of sources that state different theories for the brown mountain lights, I've always heard it was lost souls wandering the ridge with lanterns. I am intrigued by all of the theories, and will definitely look into the alien spacecraft! Thank you for another theory :)
Well stated, except for Roy Cooper. I see him as a wolf in sheep's clothing. The " Democratic Socialists " are attempting to high jack the Democratic Party. They have used an established political party to promote an agenda that would have never been accepted on it's own.
Thank you sir. I do respect our disagreement on Roy Cooper. :) Even if I did not want to vote for Mr. Cooper (which I did yesterday - great job Lincoln County Board of Elections!) , I would have felt obligated to do so. My son got a selfie with Roy Cooper when Mr. Cooper visited his college earlier this year. Have a great day Randy! Thanks for reading. E
