Southern comfort food is some of the best there is and one of my favorites is country-fried chicken. It is a thin piece of chicken breast coated in a seasoned flour mixture, deep-fried to a golden brown then topped with a creamy pepper gravy. It is usually served with mashed potatoes for a mouth-watering, delicious anytime meal.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.
