The opening night featured DJ Cindel who was really turning the beats! On Saturday the Corner Pub celebrated their 2 year anniversary of being a great neighborhood bar. Also Saturday was the start of the 5th annual Bubba’s Country Fair at Scandals which was once again a huge success (It was so busy I felt like I had to take a cab from as far back that I parked in the Kmart parking lot….LOL). Saturday night Tom (owner of the Palace) celebrated his 50th birthday at Discotekka. On Sunday night Azucar had another big event with the 60 birthday of Mariloly. The club was filled with well wishers as everyone wanted to wish the Mariloly, who has entertained us for so many years, a very Happy Birthday!

This past July, OraSure Technologies, Inc received FDA approval of its OraQuick in home HIV test for sale directly to consumers in the over the counter market making it the first rapid OTC HIV test approved in the US and the first ever OTC rapid diagnostic test for any infectious disease approved by the FDA. The test uses oral fluid by way of mouth swab and results are available in 20 minutes. The OraQuick in home HIV test is an OTC version of the same test that professionals have been using for years.
