The Second Cup: September 1 Edition

Good morning, Lake Saint Louis!

It it too early to start thinking of the weekend? I've been thinking about it since Monday! Today we post the Get Out column, with lots of ideas for you to keep busy.

This morning at 6 a.m., we posted a great piece by Patch Sports Editor Brian Doolittle. of what to look for this year in prep football. All the football talk has inspired me—I'll be attending the game tomorrow and learning from an experienced pro how to cover a game.

While in the sports frame of mind, we'll also post a preview of Timberland soccer.

I'm working on a couple of other stories that you'll see either today or tomorrow. Did you know there was a big art fair coming to ? We'll be looking at the latest news from the Chamber, and I'm also putting together some local business profiles.

It's going to be a busy day!

Today in history, courtesy of the ever-diligent folks at History.com: In 1864, Sherman began his seige of Atlanta. Union forces managed to cut of supply lines and forced the retreat of the Confederate army.
