Howe's Summit Salsa gets spicy news from Kroger

When I visited with Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams this week about an article on a small hometown boy becoming a big city mayor, there were conversations that led off of his childhood memories in Howe and more on tax increment financing zones and covert land purchases with mega millions involved.

There is a meeting on Tuesday night that will affect the old building greatly and by next week's publication, you'll probably know mostly about it.
