Preserving Mississippi History One Tree at a Time
SUMMARY: Superior Artisan Wood, co-owned by Chad Fletcher and Allen Murphree, transforms discarded timber into stunning wooden slabs for various uses, avoiding the landfill. Their Mississippi-based business has grown from a side project into a full-fledged operation, focusing on crafting and preservation. Utilizing a Lucas Model 830 sawmill, they handle massive logs for diverse creations, including kitchen countertops and charcuterie boards. Their work includes processing historically significant timber, like a log from Tammy Wynette's property. Emphasizing sustainability, they encourage people not to discard trees but to repurpose them into meaningful items. Their unique approach makes them the only certified urban wood supplier in the state, collaborating on personal and historical projects, and they have been featured on HGTV's “Hometown.”

What Are the Best Baseball Movies of All Time?
SUMMARY: Baseball movies have historically stood out, with around 180 films dedicated to the sport. The genre's appeal lies in baseball's nuanced, often poetic narratives. While older films like “Pride of the Yankees” and “The Babe Ruth Story” featured less convincing players, more recent movies from the 80s and 90s include actors like Kevin Costner, who convincingly portrayed baseball players. Notable mentions include “Bull Durham,” celebrated for its dialogue; “Major League,” known for its humor; “A League of Their Own,” which highlights the All American Girls Professional Baseball League; “Field of Dreams,” mixing sentimentality with baseball lore; and “The Natural,” loosely based on a true story, showcasing Robert Redford's talent. Additionally, movies like “Moneyball” and “61*” received honorable mentions. These films reflect baseball's enduring impact on American culture, capturing the imagination of fans and non-fans alike.
