Consider These Answers for Any of Your Christmas Mis-Givings

December 26, 2017

Getting the “wrong” presents for holiday occasions is a real issue. It has become so common that “gift receipts” may rival greeting cards as package enclosures. [1] Thinking of making a return? Research shows that today is the third worst day of the year to be out shopping (first is Black Friday, followed by Super Saturday). [2] Thankfully, Saline has alternatives. Donate those gifts to the underprivileged instead. Here on East Michigan Avenue alone, you ....

Today Is “Flag Day” In The United States, And It Is An Anniversary As Well As A Vital Touchstone for All Americans

June 14, 2018

To those who wonder if “Flag Day” is an official recognition, the answer is an unambiguous yes.
