 By now most of you know we didn't win one of the 10 coveted All-America City titles this go-round, but as cliche' as it may sound, I think, no scratch that, I know we're winners in every way. I mean, seriously, how can anyone say we lost, when we all gained so very much, starting with the dele...

 When the Southwest Airlines plane touched tarmac in Raleigh-Durham earlier today, I think each and every person in Clinton's delegation let out a sign of relief. For me, it was as much about the wheels safely touching pavement as it was that I was finally back in North Carolina. Not really, I ...

 My nerves are shot!    We're less than 12 hours now from our flight and all I can seem to think about is that darn plane. I've flown before, unlike some of my All-America City colleagues, but it doesn't seem to matter. The butterflies circling my stomach don't seem to care. I'm as ner...

 Two days and counting. That's how long it will be before about 30 Clinton residents will hop aboard a plane and head toward Tampa, Florida with the ultimate goal of bringing a second All-America City award back to our fair city.
