In person, Fireworks after National Night Out can be seen by the eye, heard by the ear and felt in your bones. Through the lens of Bluffton's Bob Antibus, these four frames transform the view into neon on black velvet. The August 4 display was organized by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce.
The Texas-based Buc-ee's chain of travel centers has sued a Beavercreek, Ohio shop named Beaver's Mini Mart for a logo it says is too similar to its own cartoon creature. It echoes efforts by Apple computers to squelch other companies' use of fruit logos--even those with pears.
I'm disgusted with this heavy-handed approach by a multi-billion-dollar company toward a mom-and-pop shop that has been in business for two decades.
