Fairhope, AL

Seventy-two acres between Veterans Boulevard and Fly Creek in Fairhope are being restored as a nature park that will feature nature trails, outdoor classrooms for educational opportunities, a trailhead with an informational kiosk, a bicycle repair station, restrooms and parking, FOX10 reports. Flying Creek Nature Preserve, previously known as the Triangle Property, is possible with the help of the Dyas family, which owned this property for more than 40 years. “We have the beautiful bay and the bluffs along the bay. We have a very walkable community, but to be able to have something where you can get lost in nature is really special. I hope that our citizens and people who visit the area will appreciate it as much as I do,” said Fairhope Mayor Sherry Sullivan.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
