There appears to be an uptick in Eastport ‘complainers’

There appears to be an uptick of people complaining about Eastport on various social media. I took a lot of abuse when I recently wrote a Letter to the Editor explaining that I thought the atmosphere in Eastport is exciting and we found it was certainly worth the drive. We have been making the trek to The Villages for several years now. We can remember the early days of Brownwood when it was a ghost town. Look at it today. It is bustling! Eastport will fill out with more restaurants and shopping. Give it time. But it’s a different vibe down there and I still say it is worth the drive!

Mandarin Shows Up: From your school board member: Thankful for the people who show up

When I think about what makes me thankful to call this community home, I think about the people who show up. I think about the teacher who notices that a child is struggling and takes the time to find out why. I think about the parent who volunteers between work shifts, the neighbor who mentors a student and the church congregation that quietly provides food, clothing or school supplies. Their contributions may never make a headline, but they make a difference.
