A few hundred Americans – most of them Morgan County residents – put away any differences they may have had for a few hours on July 3 and gathered on the lawn of the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center on Foster Street and S. Main Street to celebrate Independence Day with a picnic and concert.

At its first 2023 meeting, the Madison City Council approved a map amendment that will allow Amici to add a bakery to offices it plans to use on Park Street as the business grows and the chain expands.
