Lead Stories : Austins Bridge Connects
Think sipping cold iced-tea under the shade of a magnolia tree on a hot sweltering day at a dusty Mississippi crossroads, locusts humming as banjos and steel guitar in the background play along with a heavy bass-line.

Lead Stories : Basketball, A Relative Matter
If Shayla Scott's mom, a registered nurse, were to examine a drop of her daughter's blood under a microscope, she would probably see tiny, orange basketballs floating around next to the red blood cells. It would make a lot of sense, for a reason that we’ll soon get to. You’ll like this story.
