I received some exciting, good news this evening, which gives me renewed hope for the future. Please look on the front page of tomorrow’s News & Record for Nate DeGraff’s article, and you’ll understand why.

Update: The news is out!
“Treatment center plans under way”
“Guilford County plans to set up a long-term drug-treatment center along West Wendover Avenue in High Point to combat the area’s chronic substance abuse problem.”
