January 26, 2024 by David Gillaspie

AMERICAN STORY FROM THE LEFT COAST

July 24, 2020 by David Gillaspie

Listen hard enough and the sound of progress is the American story. But coming from the wrong mouth to the wrong ears, the story gets twisted a different direction.

May 2, 2017 by David Gillaspie

These states read a blog about nothing. Is yours on it? The biggest problem with people coming to America is they show up without a good grip on their new place.
