News Desk Charm is charm in Cinderella

Cinderella is over, but this review by Perry Tannenbaum was too lovely not to post! Over in Matthews, there's one overpowering reason to catch the Matthews Playhouse edition of Cinderella. Steve Bryan is back on the local radar as Cindy's wicked stepmother, bustling with true Rodgers & Hammerstein flamboyance -- and a fresh shtick or two. It's a warm-up for Bryan's upcoming feature role in The Producers next month at CP, but why not collect the full set? Jamey Varnadore, also bound… Continue

Reggie Byrum I'm in.

As I sat in church yesterday, I had a short conversation with God during the middle of praise and worship and declared to Him that "I'm In". My thoughts regarding those two little words are related to spiritual matters and runs pretty deep. I won't get into that here. If you want to know more about the spiritual side of it, ask me and I'll explain in more detail on a private basis. But as I thought on those words and that commitment this morning, I realized that it could be related to everythin… Continue

Buy Local Lightening Bugs (Yankees Call them Fireflies)

June 18, 2009 I will be at Charlotte and Jenifer will not be at Matthews. Ellie got selected to play on her softball league's all-star team from this area and the games begin Friday, hosted in Anson county, and go on Fri., Sat., Sun., and Mon. We are very proud of Ellie but my opinion of youth ball is checked with a frequently bitten tongue. It is madness. Growing up playing Little League, there were few if any parents at the games, just boys playing baseball and having fun. Yeah, we wa… Continue

Reggie Byrum Forget The Economy!

I believe way too much emphasis is placed on the "bad economy". Sure things are down, but can worry change anything? Can telling everyone we meet, how bad the economy is and whether or not we are going to make it, change it one degree? The time we spend wringing our hands, and saying "woe is me", is wasted time and it produces a defeatist attitude. Rid yourself of that. Wake up with a smile on your face, and determination in your heart that nothing - absolutely NOTHING is going to hold you ba… Continue

Victoria Moore Saying Good-bye to Matthews

It has been a great 2 years in my current Matthews location for my bakery business, but it is time to expand my horizons and move if I am going to grow! My little studio has proved to be a plus as far as exposure to the public, but I am bursting at the seams as far as space goes and the parking situation leaves a "little bit to be desired" as far as availability and ease of access to my bakery. I love Matthews and I also hate that I did not have the time to become more involved in events, etc. d… Continue

Buy Local A day in the life of two 21st Century Agarians

Monday, June 8th, 2009 Monday morning, the first thing I did was spray the few transplants in the greenhouse with pyganic We get these small moths about this time every year that reek havoc on transplants, mostly brassicas. I failed to mention this to Jenifer and she came behind me and watered the greenhouse washing off stuff I had just applied.

Reggie Byrum Humbled by my clients

I'm sitting here at my computer, at the start of new day, feeling very humbled by the new business contacts I've made over the past month, and the fact that they trusted me enough to create their online presence for their business.
