GENERAL NEWS

A NOTE FROM THE SCOOP
July 4 in Mt P really comes down to where you plant yourself. If you scored a Yorktown ticket, you're set. If not, the move is staking out the pier, Shem Creek, or Pitt Street Bridge with chairs and a cooler and watching the same harbor light up for free. It's the 250th birthday of the country and the 50th of Patriots Point — worth showing up for this one.
