Allen Johnson: In the age of COVID, model railroads find new relevance

As a child I spent part of my summers with my mother’s parents in Portsmouth, Va. Granddaddy and Grandma Kee didn’t officially live in the country. But they had chickens, a mule and a huge garden field alongside the house where they grew green beans by the bushel and sold them at a local market.

Allen Johnson: What in the world did I do to anger a carload of strangers?

I took a stroll the other night to the songs of cicadas, punctuated every now and then by a chorus of nightbirds, with scattered amens from barking dogs. Overhead bats fluttered in nervous orbits around streetlights, but never too close for comfort. Occasionally, a plane would wink its way across...

Allen Johnson: For a time, at least, Greensboro had its own Liz Cheney

As expected, House Republicans in D.C. cynically booted a staunch conservative, Liz Cheney, to the curb last week for refusing to declare unconditional adoration for His Exalted Wonderfulness, Donald Trump. But even more amazing than the GOP’s willful descent into darkness was Cheney’s stubborn refusal to go along. Or to...

Allen Johnson: At long last the mystery of Mr. Ed Page is revealed

I want to be like Ed Page when I grow up. There are few of us at the paper who are as well-liked or universally popular with readers, no matter their political persuasion or background. Almost always, your emails to Ed are generous and gracious and respectful. “Good morning, Mr....

Allen Johnson: Ronnie Long is mad as hell. You would be, too.

For now, at least, Ronnie Long wants no part of either. He is mad as hell. And it’s easy to understand why. Long has had nearly 44 years of his life stolen from him for a crime he didn’t commit. A sloppy and willfully negligent miscarriage of justice sealed his...

Allen Johnson: Melvin's gotten lots of things right ... Nov. 3 isn't one of them

Jim Melvin is right about everything and don’t you forget it. The former mayor and current president of the Joseph M. Bryan Foundation has rarely been shy about expressing his opinions, unvarnished and unexpurgated. Such was the case when I first met Jim … and we first disagreed. I don’t...

Allen Johnson: Is the new, improved Skip Alston here to stay?

No one around here my be as practiced in the art of local politics as Melvin “Skip” Alston. Ask anyone, friend or foe, who knows Alston, a Democrat, and they’ll tell you how smart he is and well-versed on every nut, bolt and washer in the machinery of county government.

Allen Johnson: You name it, we throw it away, anywhere. Slobs are us.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, the saying goes. Most of the time it’s just trash. I see it for myself on daily walks along Elm-Eugene Street and JJ Drive. There’s the unsightly (wrappers, plastic bottles, beer cans); the unusual (shoes, socks and other articles of clothing; tires, screws and mysterious metal fragments) and the downright disgusting (used condoms).

Allen Johnson: Slowly, our memorials are beginning to reflect us all
