EVIDENCE OF WAR
No - not in Afghanistan - in Centerville! Did you know there was a cannon shot fired when the county seat was moved from Centerville to Richmond in 1873? Did you know you can still see evidence of this on the front of the current Centerville Library?

Read about why this happened...and how a new jail was involved! A fascinating look into Wayne County history!

I've been testing it for a month now and have only received two notices, once for last week's severe weather and one when all 3 NYC area airports were closed following the crash of American Airlines flight 587 near NYC.
