The Mountain Eagle went online recently. That's the simple version. Subscribers can log in at MountainEagle.net and find the newspaper. Someone who moved to Florida can still read the same paper they used to pick up locally. People can listen to regional radio, submit events, find local organizations, buy an advertisement or list something for sale. If th

Some of the things we're best at are difficult to see from the inside. That makes sense when you think about it. If something has always come naturally to you, you don't have much experience of not being able to do it.

Thank you to Dave Ullman, of Summit, for taking drone photos of Charlotteville and Summit. Photo is of Charlotteville four corners. I had never seen how drone p
