As the holiday week begins, here's my story from Picher, Oklahoma, where a ghost town resurrects itself each Christmas. Reported for @oxfordamerican, supported by @econhardship oxfordamerican.org/oa-now/a-…
A Ghost Town Revival

A Ghost Town Revival

The Tar Creek Superfund Site forced residents of Picher, Oklahoma, to relocate, but an annual Christmas parade calls them home.

This album is 17 songs and it still leaves you wanting more. What a masterpiece from Willi Carlisle.

This is not an acceptable answer. Plus, it's grammatically incorrect. Do better.

Mahomes has to do everything for these receivers. They don't know where to go. They slow down on routes. Allen should have caught that for a TD

Back when I only knew him from the band Sunday Valley, I never thought I'd see Sturgill playing a packed State Farm Arena under the name Johnny Blue Skies. But here we are. What a damn show tonight in Atlanta.

Here’s just a taste of how raucous the Atlanta Dream crowd has been tonight. Been bumping all game long. Can’t stress enough that this is why all WNBA teams gotta be playing in real arenas. It’s been an awesome, Finals-worthy atmosphere tonight.

The Atlanta Hawks announced that Prime Video will serve as their new streaming home for the 2026-27 season. That means all local games (non-national exclusive) are available to stream for IN-MARKET fans with a Prime membership, with no additional subscription required.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.

Oh my. I thought Thornton was laying down to do a celebration. No, his ankle was grotesquely broken.

Hey @SickosCommittee is Tulsa’s H.A. Chapman Stadium the closest CFB venue to a Taco Bell?

The Royals had the 7th-best record in baseball in 2014 and had to play a one-game Wild Card and then made it to Game 7 of the World Series. And then won it all the next season. The playoffs are supposed to be hard. Why is there so much complaining about it now?

Les Cubs ont eu le 7e dossier du baseball après une saison de 162 matchs. Ils jouent un 2 de 3 contre le 6e dossier, et sont éliminés. C'est un total non-sens. Tu ne peux pas jouer 162 matchs et décider ta saison sur un 2 de 3. Les ligues de garages jouent des 2 de 3. @RDSca
