Doing good, but doing it greater...

What a way to start your new year . On January 1, 2026 while others may be resting from the festivities of the evening before, on a cool, clear, and sunny morning at 10am EST, we have the pleasure of communing with fellow members of the media and more importantly, members from both the Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-7 overall/1-7 in the SEC/tied for 13th place in the conference) and Wake Forest Demon Deacons (8-4 overall/4-4 in the ACC/tied for 7th place in the conference) ar

If the first part of our lookback at our top stories of year isn't enough (click HERE to read the article), then you're certain to take a similar look at our look back at the second half of the year. With 2026 upon us, these stories hit a little differently, so let's commence and take a look at our six-pack (plus our 2 honorable mentions): July 2025. The stars truly shine brightly, especially when it comes to an all-star game. In our case, covering the Swingman Classic to

During the holidays, the weekends hit a little differently. And for the Atlanta Gladiators , this weekend hit differently. The team currently sits in 3rd place in the ECHL South Division (16-6-0-0/32 points), but they are only 4 points out of first place as the teams ahead of them (the 1st place Florida Everblades have 36 points and the 2nd place South Carolina Stingrays have 33 points) have played more games (24 and 26 respectively), so the Glads are clearly within strikin

Love is truly in the air on December 14, 2025. Taking place at the Delta Marriott (Somerset, NJ), Styletainment , the creative and performing arts collective, hosts their 5th annual gala. The event consists of class and elegance synonymous with a black-tie affair, but there's more to the event than the attire. Complete with a happy hour/networking time which includes of a red carpet experience, the event is essentially a "2-act" play complete with the excellence and effort

During the holidays or any day, people have the capacity to serve. And one such group who does so is the Cathy Collins House of Hope. The 501c3 (nonprofit) has a dedication to empowering children and young families through their programs, ranging from financial literacy, life skills, and access to resources. And on December 20, 2025, they are doing so along with providing opportunities for the community to lend support. Their upcoming event has a goal of supporting 300 fam

One of the more positive aspects of the holidays is taking time to celebrate. And on December 13, 2025 (starting at 4pm), celebration is one of the underlying themes of the upcoming holiday affair via Styletainment. Taking place at the Delta Hotels by Marriott (110 Davidson Ave in Somerset, NJ), the performing arts collective is hosting its 5th edition of its Gala Awards. The black-tie affair takes on a creative flair with an emerald green theme for patrons of the event. T

The holidays are here; however, in a number of instances, this time of year can put people in a daze, let alone a stressful situation. Given the current and seasonal landscape, there are those in the community who are dealing with different challenges, including food access. In light of these human hurdles, two entities who consistently collaborate are doing so in a timely fashion and an ambitious goal of feeding 500 people on the upcoming holiday (November 27, 2025 from 1-4

Excellence. It comes in multiple ways, shapes, and forms. And when it comes to Parkview High School, an example of the excellence synonymous with the school and cluster is the Miss Parkview Pageant. Established in 1976, despite a longer than anticipated hiatus (since 2019), it's returning for the 2025-26 academic year. In speaking with the program advisor, there's multiple positive components historically as well as leading up to the present day which include, but are not l

HELP! At different points in time, all of us are going to be in need of help in some way, shape, or form. And given the current turmoil given reduction of access to essentials such as food (click HERE for our May 2025 coverage of the bill passed this summer which is part of the reason for the current shutdown/impasse with the government) to the advent of the holidays (which for some people are more of a stressful time instead of a reason to celebrate), there are a number of

On October 5, 2025, the 3rd edition of #AnElegantEveningOfJazz takes place at Spivey Hall (on the campus of Clayton State University ). Under the creative vision, energy, and leadership of Dr. Shenita Connally, the event builds on the tradition established in its inaugural edition in 2023 as it provides a top-notch immersion of jazz artists with the immediate and interlocking community in an equally respected venue.
