  • Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a pedestrian-friendly city?

    Sadly, Starkville isn’t there quite yet, but it's making changes toward a different future that you can learn more about in this week’s episode. In Emma’s Opinion Corner, we discuss what we watched, or for Heather, watched/read over spring break, and Emma gives a hot take about the reintroduction of movie intermissions. We also debut a new segment, “Fine Dining With Emma Dotson” to replace “The Ones That Got Away,” since Heather was just named the next editor-in-chief of The Reflector!
