Strawberry Picking in Fayetteville

News does not happen in a newsroom. I look forward to being out and about seeking out the most relevant and timely community news at Fort Bragg and Fayetteville. Truth be told, I prefer the good news stories, but the crime stories always get more engagement. Presenting the news in a multi-media format is a great package for busy readers. Reading the news on your smart phone or iPad, now that's just Patchy.
