DALLAS What a difference a week makes. Seven days after a snowstorm pounded North Texas, D-FW was treated to 70-plus degree weather on Sunday, finally allowing thousands to get out of the house and enjoy the sunshine.
“If you didn’t have pictures and documents of what it was like even three days ago, looking around [now] you would never know,” Regina Jackson said. “Everyone’s out, they’re walking the dogs, they’re taking advantage of the sunshine, getting some exercise.”

My View: Difficult decisions have repeatedly been made, especially during economic downturns, to keep the paper viable and relevant. Many newspapers across the country have not survived.
It has been an honor to work for the Portland Tribune on behalf of its readers for 20 years. As the first reporter hired in late 2000, I felt privileged to help launch the first new general interest newspaper in the city since the Oregon Journal folded 19 years earlier. I sincerely believe the city continues to benefit from its focus on local news, sports and events.
