Have a cup of coffee with the new issue of Lagniappe, where we recount one man’s battle with an addiction to prescription painkillers and how he overcame it and became a successful entrepreneur. Hanson Eskridge was promising college student at the University of Alabama when he took his first Lortab. Within a year, he was paying $80 each for OxyContin, receiving large quantities through the mail. It took three trips to rehab before he found the will and inspiration to get healthy again and in 2014, he established the Fairhope Roasting Company. In Bay Briefs, we detail a war of words in Mobile municipal politics, we have the latest news from an incorporation movement in Fort Morgan, and we preview the next steps in the Baldwin school funding debate. Cuisine has a great guide to great marinades, Arts visits a new audio exhibit at the Mobile Museum of Art, and Music catches up with metal band August Burns Red. Sports has a preview of the NASCAR race at the Mobile International Speedway and we have a book review on a story of racial injustice. Gardening tells you all you need to know about homegrown tomatoes and business recounts the 100th anniversary of locally-owned grocer Greer’s. Don’t miss Boozie’s gossip from the wedding ceremony of one of Lagniappe’s own! It’s springtime in South Alabama! Pick up the new issue of Lagniappe, online and on stands now!
