Ty's Take
Hutcheson Pharmacy closing its doors next month is the kind of loss that hits different in a town of 2,000, where Mr. Hutcheson wasn't just filling prescriptions but part of the fabric of Main Street for decades. These changes creep up on you out here, one business at a time, until you look around and realize the Houston you grew up in looks different than it did. The good news is that Faith Fellowship is bringing in a Bible school come September, and that kind of community investment reminds us that people still believe in building something here. We've got electricity to restore after that transformer fire and a motorcyclist's family grieving, so there's work ahead and sorrow to carry. That's how it goes in the Ozarks, though, rough and tender all at once.
