Cooper Alan unveils a deeply personal debut album, Winston-Salem, after years of creating singles and EPs.

Inspired by his North Carolina roots, the project reflects his growth as an artist, husband, and soon-to-be father.

The album is split into two sides: “Winston” spotlights Alan’s heartfelt, reflective storytelling, while “Salem” captures his signature high-energy, party anthems.

Tracks like “Hard Acre” and “La-Z-Boy” draw from family ties and pivotal life stages, honoring his parents and grandfather with honest, emotional lyrics.

The album’s themes of family, love, and legacy resonate powerfully, especially as Alan and his wife Hally prepare to welcome their first child.

With Winston-Salem now out, Alan is pausing touring but will return with his headline debut at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium before kicking off his “To The Pub Tour” across the UK and Ireland.

Fans can expect a vibrant glimpse into every side of his artistry.

"The two best times to visit North Carolina are now and next year." - Unknown

The aurora borealis dazzled North Carolina skies on November 11 and 12, 2025, as a powerful geomagnetic storm triggered rare northern lights far beyond their usual range.

This spectacle followed a G4 severe storm watch from NOAA, spurred by recent coronal mass ejections bombarding Earth’s magnetic field.

Pink and green waves lit up the sky from cities like Charlotte to Raleigh, and the glow reached as far south as Alabama, a testament to the storm’s exceptional strength.

The University of Alaska’s Geophysical Institute pinpointed prime viewing hours and urged north-facing spots away from city lights for the best experience.

As the sun nears its solar maximum, experts predict more aurora sightings across the South, inviting residents to keep watch for future celestial shows.

North Carolinians now look upward with renewed wonder, reminded of the sun’s profound influence over our skies.

Wake Forest University will soon offer tuition-free education to admitted undergraduate students from North Carolina whose families earn less than $200,000, starting in fall 2026.

Families making under $100,000 will also see standard living expenses fully covered, ensuring vital support for local students.

Those with household incomes between $200,000 and $300,000 can expect financial aid covering half of tuition.

President Susan R. Wente reaffirmed the school’s dedication to North Carolina, aiming to make Wake Forest a realistic option for more in-state families.

Vice President Eric Maguire stressed that most undergraduates at Wake Forest already hail from North Carolina, highlighting the local impact.

This initiative bolsters the university’s effort to reduce student loan debt and boost scholarships, widening higher education access for talented students regardless of background.

Lewisville-Clemmons is seeing a shift to a more balanced real estate market, with steadier prices and more opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

Pending sales are down sharply—by up to 42% from last year—while the number of homes for sale continues to increase.

Days on market have grown, now averaging about 40 days, though homes still typically sell close to list price.

Median prices are holding strong, with single-family homes up to $441,000 in October—a 4.3% year-over-year gain.

Buyers now have more options and can take their time, but sellers must price realistically and present their homes well.

The market is no longer “fast and furious,” but remains healthy, competitive, and attractive for those looking to make a move in Lewisville or Clemmons.

With winter on the horizon, Lewisville-Clemmons homeowners can take a few practical steps to keep their homes warm and energy-efficient this season.

Begin by sealing drafts around windows and doors using weatherstripping or caulk to block cold air and keep heat indoors.

Next, schedule a professional heating system tune-up to ensure your furnace or heat pump runs smoothly all winter, reducing the risk of breakdowns.

It’s also wise to have fireplaces and wood stoves professionally inspected and cleaned to prevent potential fire hazards.

Check your home’s insulation, focusing on attics and walls, to maximize heat retention and lower energy bills.

Don’t overlook your outdoor spaces—clear gutters, trim trees, and prepare emergency supplies like salt and shovels for winter weather.

With a little early preparation, you can enjoy a safe, cozy, and cost-effective winter in the heart of Lewisville-Clemmons.

The West Forsyth Titans advanced in the NCHSAA playoffs with a strong 22-10 victory over the Mallard Creek Mavericks, anchored by their relentless defense.

A quick safety and a fumble recovery by Keith Taylor set the early pace, with Mozes Morris punching in an early touchdown.

P.J. Dean intercepted a deflected pass for another score, lifting the Titans to a 16-0 first-quarter lead.

Mavericks quarterback Cailen Napier answered with a touchdown drive before halftime, but the Titans' defense held firm in key moments after the break.

Morris broke loose for a 56-yard touchdown late, securing West Forsyth’s win and a 10-2 record.

The Titans now face the Hough Huskies with hopes of continuing their playoff surge.

Elevate your next taco night with Slow Cooker Chipotle Pot Roast Tacos, featuring melt-in-your-mouth beef infused with smoky chipotle and warm spices.

Start by generously seasoning beef chuck roast with chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and Mexican oregano for bold, aromatic flavor.

Layer sliced onions in your slow cooker, set the spice-rubbed beef on top, and pour over fresh orange juice and a drizzle of honey for tender, slightly sweet results.

Let the beef cook on low for 7-8 hours until it’s so tender it falls apart.

Shred the beef, then return it to soak up every drop of flavorful juice for extra juiciness.

Spoon the rich meat into warmed tortillas and top with salsa verde, jalapeño yogurt, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese for a zesty, creamy finish.

Perfect for busy nights or gatherings, these tacos make a bold, satisfying addition to your meal rotation.
