Not all the news out there is bad. And we have the sections to prove it.

Progress 2009, our annual salute to everything and everyone that’s new and happening in Franklin, Southampton County and Isle of Wight County, is finally here.

March 8: Government and Sports and Leisure.

March 15: Commerce and Remember When

March 22: Legends & Lore and Neighbors

March 29: Community
