Cars drive up and down 96th and Garnett Rd at all times of the day, mainly because the area has become a major shopping district. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Now, a housing development is about to be crammed in the middle. Many people aren't happy about the addition and went to Facebook to express their concern. <iframe height="314" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F61561695983707%2Fvideos%2F792476869679253%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=560&amp;t=0" width="100%"></iframe> We caught up with Shelly Ward shopping. She said Owasso's growth is the main reason she chooses to live in Sperry. "Well, some of the progression, I think, it's been really good for the economy, but as far as the congestion, it's gotten really bad," Ward said. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Kris Eason said she doesn't mind the addition – but does mind how close the houses will be built together. "That's my only problem is who wants to be that close together with your neighbors," said Eason. The price for these 1,200 to 1,800-square-foot homes can be up to $390,000. The homes are a sad reminder to people like Ward that Owasso isn't the farming community it once was. "Again, when I first moved out this way, there was a lot more land. There were a lot more farming communities and people who used the land to make their living," said Ward. We reached out to Capital Homes for a comment on their development, but no one was in the office.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

With out-of-region games and inter-conference matchups, and even an old rivalry or two, Week 1 of the high school football season in Northern Kentucky is often as interesting and attractive as any all season. The 15 games for all 21 teams this weekend make that clear.

A historic marker could be erected to honor the victims of the racist mass shooting at the Dollar General store in Jacksonville’s New Town neighborhood nearly a year ago. If approved by the Jacksonville City Council, a marker would be installed at Kings Road and Canal Street on Aug. 25, a day before the first anniversary of the shooting, when a white gunman took the lives of three Black people.

Denver, CO

In addition to collecting more than 8,000 used needles in the past year from Denver drug users, the Harm Reduction Action Center passed out 10,000 meth pipes and “snort kits,” according to a newsletter sent to its supporters Thursday. They also connected about 1,700 people to medical, mental health and substance abuse treatment.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.
