Start your Thursday with Sara in Murphy, North Carolina, as we cover the stories shaping Cherokee County and our mountain neighbors.In today’s local headlines: county leaders weigh a resolution pushing back on federal land decisions under the Antiquities Act, and what that could mean for access, recreation, tourism, and small businesses. We also reflect on the tragic, weather-related crash from Sunday, and share practical winter driving reminders as roads recover from last weekend’s snow and ice.We check in on Andrews after the mid-January poultry plant fire that caused major damage, and talk about how the community is supporting workers during recovery. Plus, a quick regional look at why emergency preparedness matters across the mountains after the recent storm brought slick roads and spin-outs.Then we lighten things up with what’s coming up downtown: a Second Saturday Shop and Sip event ahead of Valentine’s weekend, and a few notes on downtown traffic and parking around events at The Ballroom.Finally, get a simple three-day Murphy forecast and a rundown of community activities, including a late-winter walking club meet-up and arts-and-culture happenings at Olive’s Porch.Subscribe, like, and share to help the Murphy Morning Show grow.
