The coolest yard in town
"[My kids] are very popular now. All their friends want to come over to play,” said Jodi Cyzick, motioning at the 20-foot-tall tangle of twisting, brightly-colored plastic tubes towering above her backyard, inside of which at least several of her five children, plus a friend or two, were climbing, sliding and shrieking with laughter.

Stories About Local Bands and Artists

pas is to steal stuff from another comedian,” he says.
Shapiro comes back to the ’Burg
Carl Shapiro smells like money.
Red River Rollercoaster is on a roll
Most musicians probably dream of winning awards, selling millions of records and playing sold-out arenas. Chris Howdyshell dreams of small audiences, steady gigs and the ultimate perk — bottled water.
Coming home
Jarrod Smith grew up playing guitar for friends at parties in Bergton, 30 miles northwest of Harrisonburg. Bergton is a small town with a population a little more than 500, and its big event is the annual fair in August.
Advantage: Napp
