Pamela Alderman's "Hometown Hero" honors the memory of Army Spc. Eric T. Burri. Burri was 21 years old when he gave his life in 2005 while serving in Bagdad.
Visitors to the ArtPrize Seven entry are invited to interact by writing the name of their personal hero on the flag.
As the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 approaches, there are many ways to remember those who were lost. This Sunday at 8:00am people will gather at the Amway Grand for the 9/11 Stair Climb to remember the 343 firefighters who were killed on 9/11/01.
The 1913 Room inside the Amway Grand will be closing this spring to be transformed into a Ruth's Chris steakhouse. Some folks are upset over the idea that a "local" favorite is becoming a "chain" restaurant. I'm kind of neutral on it. Good food is good food, and I'm guessing that servers, cooks and the like will get to stay if they're doing a good job...
