The Model City Times

Local Geocaching group, New Cache Order, celebrates their 10th year. The idea of the group came together in the back of a trailer and began October of 2013. The group started with 10 members and have grown to over 60, with members coming from TN, VA, NC, SC, & KY. Besides the events the group has also placed wolf geoart that attracts other cachers from all over the world.

“We started as a small group and became a huge amazing family. I couldn’t imagine my life without these people, I am truly blessed” stated nCo co-founder Tom (nCo_Captain).

A Bud Light product endorsement from Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer, sparked backlash among many conservatives in April, inciting a boycott against Bud Light that hammered sales.

The consumer protest grew even larger after the initial response from the company was perceived as conciliatory by some LGBTQ advocates, prompting a wave of frustration on the left.

Enduring for months, the boycott imposed steep losses for the company’s U.S.-based business and triggered hundreds of layoffs.

Ultimately, Bud Light lost its spot as the nation’s most popular beer. Angry ex-customers helped propel the ascent of a rival: Modelo Especial.

Fumes from wildfires in Canada engulfed the skies over much of the East Coast in June, turning the air a hazy orange and prompting serious air quality alerts in over a dozen states.

On June 7, New York City recorded the worst air quality rating of any major city in the world, with the air quality index climbing over 400. AQI ranges from 0 to 500, and levels under 100 are generally considered safe.

The dangerous smoke delayed flights, closed schools and postponed MLB games.

The G.O.A.T. is retiring, again.

Tom Brady announced Wednesday morning in a social media post that he is walking away from the NFL after 23 seasons with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The declaration came exactly a year after Brady announced his retirement in 2022, only to change his mind 40 days later. Choking up as he announced his plan, TB12 insisted this time, it’s for good.

“Good morning, guys. I’ll get to the point right away. I’m retiring. For good,” he said. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record, and I’d let you guys know first. It won’t be long-winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year. So I really thank you guys so much. To every single one of you for supporting me: My family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors I could go on forever. There’s too many. Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I wouldn’t change a thing. I love you all.”

Brady will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2028.
