CAPA purchased the church building on South 3rd Street about 12 years ago at the behest of the congregation. The church has sat empty for a long time and it shows: paint peels, bits of plaster litter the floor, and chairs, ladders and lamps are strewn on the floor.

CAPA plans to preserve a lot of the building’s history, while making it an ideal place for bands, comedians, dancers and others to perform.

Last week's charts reflect the seven days immediately before Halloween — the "spooky season," you might say, but not the holiday itself or the weekend that followed. And several titles did re-enter the charts, led by Michael Jackson's "Thriller," which resurfaced on the Hot 100 at No. 32.

Because of a Halloween boost, "Thriller" helps Jackson hit some major chart milestones.

Think back to a fond time and place in your childhood — perhaps a stroll with a parent along a waved-washed beach. The memory is a happy (and likely idealized) one, but still tinged with the bittersweet knowledge that you can never go back. It's a complex emotion we know as nostalgia.

The word began as a medical diagnosis but over the centuries has evolved to mean the longing for a bygone, idealized past.

Fans tired of waiting for the next Frozen sequel or the next chapter in the Star Wars saga may soon have new ways to engage with those worlds — by creating their own content using Disney's IP. That was the tantalizing hint Disney CEO Bob Iger dropped during an earnings call Thursday, as he described how the company is exploring ways to make the Disney+ subscription-based streaming service more interactive, and customizable for users.

Disney CEO Bob Iger said his company is talking with AI companies about allowing subscribers to create their own short-form videos on Disney+.

The First Amendment enshrines the idea of separation between church and state within the U.S. However, with recent Supreme Court rulings and the co-opting of “Christian thinking” into some American policies, is the separation still intact?

What are the downsides and the upsides of separating church and state, and is it something that should still be enshrined in the Constitution?

The harassment of athletes on social media has become an epidemic, an experience so common that players today accept it as a fact of life.

Building a social media brand has helped enrich players. But constant harassment — fueled in part by sports gambling — has come to outweigh potential income. Now, staying "regular" is the goal.

President Trump says he is going to "make America affordable again." It's a pledge he made frequently during the campaign. And now, after dropping it from his lexicon for more than eight months, he's saying it again as polls show voters rank the economy and cost of living as their top concern and blame Trump's policies for making things worse.

Americans are feeling the strain of high prices, even as President Trump tries to tout "record highs" in the stock market.

The second Blendon Township police officer who tried to arrest 21-year-old Ta'Kiya Young the day she was fatally shot testified Friday in Connor Grubb's murder trial. Sgt. Erik Moynihan was one of the final three witnesses in the first week of the trial. The other two witnesses were experts called by the defense and prosecution, who disagreed about Grubb's movements and actions on the day he shot Young in August 2023.

U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie said she expects to decide by Thanksgiving on challenges to Lindsey Halligan's appointment as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. That decision could help determine the fate of the politically charged cases, which were both shepherded by the hastily installed Halligan and together have amplified concerns that the Justice Department is being used as a weapon to target President Donald Trump's perceived adversaries.

Lawyers for former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James asked a judge to dismiss their cases, arguing prosecutor Lindsay Halligan was illegally appointed.
