Mercer County agencies trying to take charge of illegal drugs
Drugs like LSD and heroin were widely popular in the 1980s and 1990s. The pair have never officially disappeared from the drug scene, but they are making a comeback.

I’m feeling a little nostalgic
C-NOTESI recently visited Timeless Tattoos and finally got my mom’s final EKG on my left forearm, along with her date of birth and date of death. It’s been something I’ve been wanting to get for quite some time. When I think of my mom, I do not get down or depressed. I actually smile and think of the good times. […]
