It is really hard not to be overly optimistic these days here in Bowie County if you take a few minutes to really look around at the state of things in our communities. There are stories in this issue of all of the positive things going on, with grand opening celebrations for State Bank and Love’s, millions of dollars in infrastructure improvements happening in DeKalb, and a robust and thriving economy in New Boston and other cities around the county.
