We shipped our music and merch globally through the postal service because it was cheap and reliable.

Coincidence or More? Hurricane Beryl on Same Path As Solar Eclipse
I wrote extensively about the solar eclipse a chunk of America experienced this past April, so I spent quite a bit of time looking at maps showcasing the Path of Totality.

Are There Still Active Sundown Towns In Michigan?
We are all aware of the origins of the United States of America and how many ethnic groups were constricted to be slaves and seen as less than humans.

One of those dangers was sundown towns all over the country.
