BRACK: Three aspects of recent trip to D.C.

By Elliott Brack | Three distinct elements distinguished last weekend’s springtime trip to Washington, D.C.

It turned chilly when we visited the new (for us) Washington Nationals park on Sunday. A radio station reported as my daughter and I rode in a Uber car to the stadium that the weather was “blustery,” and that was an understatement.

BRACK: Questions arise now that presidential contest is almost settled

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher, GwinnettForum | You must admit that social media has been a mighty contributor to this 2016 political season.

In another way of saying this: look what we have done to ourselves.
