    The baked goods at the Fauntleroy sale are stellar.  Kudos to whoever makes the tasty lemon tarts each year.

    I am getting real dang tired of the tedious megaphone lady screaming and blaring her siren at a deafening level right in the faces of passerby, babies and dogs when we are just trying to have one nice moment at the market. If everyone in town is mad about the preacher man and agrees that what he is doing is illegal, how is this not illegal too???? WSB can we complain to anyone about the decibel level?

Sorry, comment time is over.
