📢 This Week on The Hickory Hound & The Hound’s Signal
🧠 Opening Reflection
“Infrastructure of the Mind” — real resilience isn’t adrenaline or
applause. It’s systems of thought, built quietly and relentlessly to
endure chaos.
⭐ Feature Story
Data Centers: Time for Rules That Protect Communities
Counties chase billion-dollar headlines, but the costs are local:
strained water, overtaxed power grids, locked land, and few lasting
jobs. If they’re here to stay, data centers must be regulated like
utilities — with impact fees, renewable offsets, and accountability.
📖 Also This Week
The Foothills Corridor, Chapters 3 & 4 — Globalization’s human cost
and civic extraction.
Dear Rachel: Life Is Wonderful (Ep. 4) — Hope, inequality, and
generational wisdom in conversation.
Catawba County’s Quiet Mosaic — Citizenship, language, and belonging in a
changing community.
The Foothills Corridor, Chapter 5 — The Era of Loss: jobs, identity, and
youth.
🕰️ In Closing
Silent roads within,
Patterns built to bear the weight—
Order outlasts noise.
🥠 Fortune Cookie Message
“Strength comes not from applause, but from systems built to endure.
Protect your community with rules that outlast the hype, and resilience
will carry you where promises cannot.”
