“Footprints of Fayette” Sky-Hi in La Grange
“Footprints of Fayette” Sky-Hi in La Grange
America’s infatuation with drive-in theaters began in 1933 with the first known theater established in New Jersey. Popularity would continue to grow with the opening of the Drive-In Short Reel Theatre in Galveston on July 5, 1934, showing cartoons and short reels would be all the rage. America’s entry into WWII would soon slow the growth of drive-in theaters but the return of GIs from the war would rekindle the spark for entertainment away from the traditional movie theatre. The Baby Boomer generation would have a significant impact on the construction of drive-in theaters reaching its peak in the middle 1950s, with the erection of some 4000 driveins nationwide the following announcement appeared in the June 4, 1948 edition of the Fayette County Record: Drive-In Theatre Started Near Port C.H. Branson of Odessa started work Wednesday on the erection of a drive-in theatre near the La Grange Airport. 05/15/2024 23:00
Can You Clobber Cancer with Citrus?
Can You Clobber Cancer with Citrus?
With good health and happiness on my mind today, I am compelled to write this column. In the habit of scouring cyberspace for beneficial ideas and practical medical research, I recently stumbled upon something that is good to know. I have determined to apply this in my own life immediately. Perhaps you might consider doing the same. It should be emphasized however that before you take medical or nutritional advice from a coffee-drinking typewriter nerd, it might be best to consult your own personal physician. But, with that being said, consider the following… In May of 2020, a research study was published by the National Institute for Health. This study presented evidence showing that citrus peelings exhibit anti-carcinogenic effects. Flavonoid compounds found in citrus peels have anti-cancer potential, affecting cellular processes including cell proliferation, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, metastasis, and angiogenesis. This is big news! Apparently, if you can ingest the good stuff in citrus peels (from oranges, lemons, grapefruit, etc.) you can help your body prevent and fight cancer. 05/15/2024 23:00
