Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Which is weirder: the fact that Balthrop, Alabama (the town), has a population of approximately 11, or that Balthrop, Alabama (the band), is actually located in New York City?
