He only lives round the corner.

Jayden, an Australian chef, takes on a temporary cooking job in a B&B. Cass is opening his B&B just before Christmas and is coming to terms with a lot of changes in his life.
Here is a #parody of the controversial song with a super #racist video by #JasonAldean. #Aldean became known for filming a country video outside the #MauryCountyCourthouse, where a #black teenager was lynched in 1927. Aldean claimed this was not racist, and simply indicative of something that made no sense except as #racism.
This parody shows things you are likelier to find in #smalltown#America than Jason Aldean's imagination. The picture is still not pretty.

A sad day for local news.
“…this is key. Journalists at #Metroland community papers watched out for the public—kept watch on developers, politicians, those with influence and means. If not journalists - who will do that in a democracy?”
“Closing these 70 newspapers means fewer resources covering city councils, holding politicians accountable, or small community issues not deemed “big” enough for the dailies.” Voices silenced.
