HOWEVER
Ouch! We’re losing the studio…
We regularly discuss that it is better to know “where the bulldozers are going,” rather than be surprised by them. It’s even better still when you can play a part in directing those bulldozers. Last week we kinda got bulldozed!
The first installment of the story comes below the following paid subscription line. In the fullness of time we’ll be able to release the complete story to the entire readership. Just know our publication appreciates every reader and now, more than ever, we could use your paid support to continue the Hilliard Beacon and steady our future.
