This upcoming Sunday’s newspaper marks a milestone for The Roanoke Times. As you may (or may not) know, this newspaper has been in business for 136 years, since a guy named M.H. Claytor launched The Roanoke Daily Times in 1886.
Through those many decades, we’ve published a number of different columns on a wide variety of special-interest subjects. Those include food, cooking, cars, music, employment, fashion, gardening, booze and teenyboppers. Weather Journal, by my colleague Kevin Myatt, is one of the more popular and enduring columns in more recent years.
We’ve never before offered a regular column on marijuana. That changes Sunday, with the debut of “Herbology,” by Nick Clifton.
