Surviving + Thriving In A Small Town Zombie Apocalypse

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall overlooking Spring Street. His demise was not from a fall, but a termite infestation and a team with a chainsaw. In his tiny mountain town nestled among the Ozarks, he sat for many years as a stark yet quaint reminder of what Eureka Springs truly is: pretty weird, and […]

When you hear the word hero, what do you picture? Is it a muscular vision of a man from Greek mythology, his brute strength and hardened judgment ruling over armies and conquering kingdoms with righteous fury?
