Movie Reviews by Reel People: 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'
It seems kind of silly to argue between Team Edward and Team Jacob. But, it wasn’t that long ago the choice was between Ginger and Mary Ann (explain to your kids).

Letter: Absolutely exhilarating
Many stirring events take place within our city walls but my favorite, the one I look forward to every year, is the 4th of July fireworks display.
