📰 In the news
Heads-up for local drivers: U.S. 25 Bypass/Veterans Memorial Parkway will close at the railroad crossing on March 5 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting, with a detour in place — see detour route and timing.
Strategic location guides project: Bulloch County commissioners entered a sales agreement for a planned fire headquarters, renovating an 8,000-square-foot building using bond and SPLOST funds, with move-in expected after the sale is finalized — see what’s planned and why.
Group fitness with heart: Trellis Pilates Studio has opened in downtown Statesboro, offering a community-focused space with 10 reformers, flexible mat classes, and options for drop-ins, memberships, and class packs — get all the details.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Wing night, upgraded: Dingus Magee’s serves crispy, saucy wings the way Statesboro likes, from mild to honey hot to lemon yaki. Expect a lively, no-frills vibe where quick bites turn into hangs, extra ranch on standby, and friends lingering over baskets.
Beauty stash upgrade: Esquire Beauty Supply makes beauty runs easy with a wide range of hair, accessories, makeup, and more, minus the big-box vibe. Downtown Statesboro location is perfect for quick restocks or a treat-yourself add-on, so your routine stays effortless and your stash stays fresh.
Dial in your swing: When you need a quick reset or an excuse to be outside, Georgia Southern Golf Course delivers 18 friendly holes, a legit practice range, and a laid-back clubhouse vibe. Close enough for a spontaneous afternoon, it turns routine hours into a mini-escape with just enough challenge to keep you smiling.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
This house is wild
This riverfront Ogeechee River estate in Brooklet pairs 4,500 square feet of living space with cathedral ceilings, a gourmet kitchen, and two elegant primary suites. Pecky cypress trim, hardwoods, and quartz set a refined tone. A full lower level adds a second kitchen and workroom. Outside, a hot tub, outdoor kitchen, and private dock promise panoramic views and stellar fishing.
