Editor's Picks

If you are a good editor, you have to put a lot of trust in your writers. I try hard to not turn this publication into "Marcus' Scene" because I'm not an all-seeing, all-knowing god of our local scene. (Crazy, I know.) Which brings me to this week's cover story.

Writer and friend Jack Hunter is passionate about wrestling. It's not really something that I'm knowledgeable about, but I LOVE Jack's enthusiasm for the topic.

And, honestly, he taught me a lot. There are a lot of great personalities in the local wrestling scene, people who I and, more importantly, you probably would not have exposure to. Especially if you've never found yourself buying a ticket for a local match.

This is an issue and a story that I'm proud of. Hope you dig it.

6 p.m. // Friday // Alchemy Coffee Shop

Hair stylists from Fix Salon Studio will be displaying their talents in a Living Art Show on Friday.

The show, which is free to the public, will be at local venue Alchemy Coffee Shop, 11 Magnolia Road, a first-time collaboration for the studio.

According to Fix Salon owner Megan Strickland Epting, the salon's stylists will be put to the test as they will be creating elaborate hair styles involving extreme cuts and flashy color.

Epting said that the studio recognizes the potential salon's have to help the environment without having to go to extreme measures.

"All we do is collect the hair and store it in boxes. It's something easy we can do that isn't any more than what we were already doing. Instead of putting the hair into a trash can, we just put it in a box," Epting said. "That small effort can do a lot for the community."
