Will Gen-Z Ever Buy a Home?
By Timothy Compton
My friend group consists of a handful of twenty-somethings who would be there for each other day and night. We laugh together, we pick on each other and even lend each other a few dollars from time to time. Every week, the four of us find ourselves sitting in a lop-sided circle under one of our carports.

Autism Awareness Month in the Roanoke Valley: Understanding, Acceptance, and the Power of Inclusion

Some autistic people may need significant daily support, while others live independently and thrive in careers, education, and creative pursuits.
