The non-profit scavenger hunt
It’s time for another one of the Insider’s fun scavenger hunts! This one has a bit of a twist on it, however. Reader Page Cannon, who is the executive director of non-profit Fellowship Housing Opportunities, suggested we do a scavenger hunt for local non-profit organizations. You little scavengers out there will be looking for the logos of these non-profits, which are all located in downtown Concord. We’re hoping this raises awareness...

Love is …
We visited the Havenwood – Heritage Heights retirement community to ask some senior couples their definition of love. After all, they’ve got more experience than any of us!
‘Gimme a slice’
You know how it is, Concord. Sometimes you just want to grab a quick slice of ’za for lunch. We asked our readers to tell us their favorite slice joints, and then we checked them out ourselves! We rated each place on a five-pizza scale in the following categories: taste, size and variety. Enjoy.
No time like the end times
With the Mayan calendar predicting the end of the world on Dec. 21, 2012, we asked Concordians what they want to do with their last year on Earth.
Game over?
The Insider searched Concord high and low for places to play old-school coin-op arcade games. There weren’t many. It appears the world has moved on. Still, die-hard joystick jockeys can get their fix at a few locations. Put your quarters up and read on.
Santa has gone to the dogs (and cats)
Capital Area Veterinary Emergency Service received a special visit from Santa, much to the delight of the canine and feline residents of Concord who were looking to finalize their Christmas lists.

Holiday traditionis from around the world
The Insider visited Second Start School to find out what kind of holiday traditions Concord’s perse immigrant population brought with them from the many lands they call home, and how they celebrate now that they are Americans.
