West wind around 2 mph. | | | | | I'll be joyously returning to Mount Holly for a spell this summer and would love to rent a vehicle from a local for the duration of my stay, rather than use a car rental company. If you have an extra set of wheels and would like some supplemental cash for craft beers and Village Green band donations, please let me know at jacob@sevenmileswest.com! Thanks! | | |
