Editor's Note: Out of the Fire Fee and into the frying pan

The Fire Fee has become so radioactive that attempts to fix it only seem to make it even more unpalatable, and call more attention to why it was such a bad idea to begin with.

Remembering Jim Bacote

Gullah-Geechee historian and museum founder promoted coastal Georgia as an epicenter for African culture in the Americas

Editor's Note: A politician’s sad attack on the homeless

It would be disturbing enough for an average citizen to have this privileged attitude toward people much less fortunate. But for an elected official to claim, as Petrea does, that a proper use of his power is to force the evacuation of people who live on the commuter route to his district because they're an "eyesore" is beyond the pale.

Property tax sticker shock: A closer look

The Chatham County Board of Assessors decided this year to give every residential lot in Thomas Square (and adjacent neighborhoods) a set price. Not a set price per square foot, mind you, which would make sense -- just one flat price.

Summer beers make me feel fine

The best summer beers are flavorful, low in ABV and in my opinion need to be light and crisp, no overwhelming malt or hops flavors.

Review: Incredibles 2

Incredibles 2 is a guaranteed good time at the movies and certain to be one of the summer’s biggest hits. But while it frequently feints in the direction of something more meaningful, it usually backs away and merely lathers on more thrills. That’s not exactly a debit, but anyone expecting the complexity of its predecessor might be left wanting.

Review: Adrift

This film is as much a sweet love story as a grueling survival tale, although its realism is tempered with flights of fancy.

Review: Solo: A Star Wars Story

While those folks who love all things Star Wars regardless of quality will adore it, those of us who grew up with the franchise since a young age and find it still rooted in our DNA deserved something better

Review: Deadpool 2

If it doesn’t quite reach the plateau of its predecessor, that says less about the freshness of the film’s irreverent approach and more about the comparative stagnation in the character’s development.

Much of the picture’s appeal rests with the character essayed by McCarthy. Like Rodney Dangerfield’s Thornton Melon in the 80s comedy classic Back to School, McCarthy’s Deanna is immensely likable, meaning viewers have her back as she rebounds from a deserting spouse by heading back to college
