With the win of the New Orleans Saints in last Sunday’s Super Bowl, it seems like everyone is talking about that “Who Dat?” attitude.  I have a hunch you’ll be able to get a full dose of that Cajun feeling on Saturday night, February 13, when Mooresville Concerts brings the group Bayou Diesel to the Joe [...]

Statesville has taken some hits lately from companies closing shop and laying off employees.  I guess that’s to be expected in our wounded economy.  Still, every once in a while, we get a shot of good news to keep us hopeful.  That came for Statesville last week with the announcement that Kewaunee Scientific Corp. is expanding [...]
