Show Review: Dave Hause at Spaceship Earth Coffee in McAlester, OK
As I’ve gotten older, sometimes when I go to shows I wish they’d sell coffee to keep me going throughout the show.

Seeing a show and getting coffee during a band’s set couldn’t be better, and that is exactly what happened in McAlester, OK during Dave Hause’s set on Saturday.

Opioid settlement fuels treatment center
PARK HILL – The $25 million price tag for a new drug and alcohol treatment center is paid for by opioid manufacturers the Cherokee Nation sued in 2017.
