Barbershop Hunt

I may have found a keeper in my hunt for a new barbershop.

Over the noon hour I walked into the Executive Barber in the Executive Plaza next to Home Depot on 1st Ave. From the moment I walked in, I knew this joint had real potential.

Fed Up in McGregor

Honestly, I haven’t given the Big Ten Network-Mediacom cable battle much thought. I’ve been a DirecTV subscriber for years, so I’ve been only a passive observer to the melee. I’ve read news stories, heard talking heads talk and watched satellite dishes bloom all over Marion. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, I can watch Iowa in all its HD glory.

Then I got a call the other day from Jim Duvall, who lives in a nursing home in McGregor.
