Congrats to the genius who designed the so-called improvements to Exit 19 in Abingdon.
The town of Abingdon has determined to sell their former visitors center site, the impressive century-plus-old Hassinger House, a property abutting our Veterans Memorial Park.
In my opinion, as lay people, we don’t have all the information to protect us from contracting this virus. Yes, handwashing is critical. Social distancing of at least 6 feet is helpful, 10 feet even better.
This is a voting story. I’m deliberately submitting it BEFORE we know the results of the 2020 presidential election. This year I had three friends, all previous NONVOTERS, cast their vote, in part perhaps because I kept talking about how important voting is.
I would like to comment on a story that was in the Bristol Herald Courier on Sept. 20. It stated that flyers were being circulated in Abingdon calling Ruth Bader Ginsburg a witch.
I am very impressed with the preparations that the Washington County Voter Registrar’s employees have made for early voting this year.
The decision to wait or push this through will clearly show the ethical and moral values of the Republican Party as it exists now.

As a great-granddaughter of John Hassinger, I have been asked for some input on the controversy over whether to keep or sell his house. I question whether a short-term fix outweighs the long-term effect of selling the house and property.
No one has done more to harm the people of the Ninth District than Congressman Morgan Griffith.
If you are a Republican worried about socialism and you plan on getting the $1,400 COVID relief check from the U.S government, trash it, don’t cash it.
It has been gratifying to see the Bristol Herald Courier’s and Washington County News’ recent articles on issues concerning historic buildings in Abingdon, including the handsome 1840s Dooley House.
Hey, Abingdon! Today you took down three magnificent sycamores on Court Street, and about a week ago, another tree on Main Street — one that didn’t even have a yellow notice on it, if memory serves — got the axe.
In 1962, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, while pounding his shoe on a desk, stated in anger that the communists would take the United States without firing a shot.

Sabotage and cement trucks were the issue at hand in the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 1 decision in Glacier Northwest, Inc. v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local Union No. 174.
With her wild hair, peekaboo sweater and extraordinary claim that then-presidential candidate Joe Biden had sexually assaulted her, Tara Reade merited considerable skepticism. Any such accusation deserved a hearing, of course, but Reade was an obvious nutjob and Putin shill. Why did she have to be "believed" right off the bat?
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has spent more than two years promising foreign leaders that the U.S. is committed to a new global deal to raise taxes on large companies. Now Republicans in Congress have a warning for the rest of the world: Don’t believe her.
A few months ago, Mike Rowe stumbled on a 2011 video of himself speaking in front of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee during the Obama administration about the mindset of government toward skilled trades.
