đź“° In the news
Community-building partnership unveiled: Statesboro’s Market 100 has been rebranded as The Vine as new owners plan $5M in upgrades, with most work expected by July 2026 and more renovations coming in summer 2027 — see what’s planned and when.
University spotlights dedicated educator: Georgia Southern honored Bulloch County Schools instructional coach Chris Clark with the Teacher Excellence Award, celebrating his 16 years of service and impact on students and teachers in the community — learn about his recognition.
Seventies favorites take center stage: Statesboro’s Dark Desert Highway Band, an Eagles tribute group, will add a third Tybee Post Theater show on Friday, March 20, with Saturday matinee and evening performances on March 21 — see dates and featured artists.
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.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
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
Pasta night upgrade: When you want comfort without the fuss, Holy Pie Pizzeria delivers with the Holy Pasta lineup, featuring creamy Smoked Chicken Alfredo, hearty Penne and Meatballs, and scratch-made sauces. Simple, satisfying, and perfect for a low-energy weeknight.
Real-deal vintage fix: Downtown’s The Archive Boro stocks handpicked tees, jackets, and authenticated sneakers, pieces with real stories, not algorithm vibes. When your closet needs personality fast, you can swoop in, find something unique, and feel good about the sustainable spin.
Recover like a pro: Southern Chiropractic & Wellness Center doubles as a wellness haven… infrared sauna sessions and a new hyperbaric oxygen chamber for when your body needs a reset. Ideal for post-workout soreness or midweek stress, it helps you feel human again in Statesboro.
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 đź‘€
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.
