The good thing about this article is now everyone knows about this Yummi Banh Mi place. I’ve never heard of it before today.

It’s hard to say though about the $40,000 for sure.

Those with food trucks should go find truckers. They can’t drive their rigs through drive-thru’s and drive-thrus don’t allow walk-ups. They will happily buy from you.

Rowan-Salisbury Schools reflects on first week …

Don’t mind me. Just waiting on the usual gang of folks who will blast Superintendent Lynn Moody and the RSS school board for anything and everything they do or the folks who are completely against all the tech students have access to that have allowed some form of learning to continue.

Rowan man who tested positive for COVID-19 …

He chose to publicly tell his story and put his name out there in hopes of helping our community realize the seriousness of this pandemic. Most people do realize the seriousness of it, but maybe his story will reach someone that is not taking it seriously.

Why in the world would anyone say anything negative about this man? Prior to the onset of this pandemic, people routinely went wherever they wanted when they didn’t feel well.

Parents sent children to school daily with fevers.

Maybe the health department could do a better job as well since they have yet to notify the Forum of a positive test of one of their members and the Salisbury Post had to handle that for them.

Letter: Time to remove President Trump from office

It is opinions such as this that continuous division and hate rules the day. Don’t you want the president to succeed? Do you truly believe that anyone else could do so much better? I doubt it.
