Sandra Escobar+FollowBlythewood’s walk for peace: Monks, a dog, and a powerful messageBlythewood and Ridgeway are about to witness something truly special—a group of Buddhist monks and their peace pup, Aloka, are walking right through town as part of their cross-country “Walk for Peace.” Their journey isn’t just about the miles; it’s about spreading gratitude, resilience, and compassion, even after a serious accident nearly halted their trek. Locals are encouraged to meet them, offer support, or just share a moment of reflection. How do you think moments like this can impact our community’s spirit? Would you stop by to say hello or lend a hand? #News #Blythewood #WalkForPeace10Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowBig changes for Blythewood’s gas stationsLongtime Blythewood Oil convenience stores between Charlotte and Columbia are getting new owners—Petroleum Marketing Group (PMG) is taking over all nine locations. For folks who’ve relied on these neighborhood stops for years, this marks the end of an era. The Sharpe family, who started Blythewood Oil back in 1976, will still be in the fuel business, just not running these stores. PMG, now one of the biggest fuel distributors on the East Coast, is expanding fast. How do you think this shift will impact our local routines and the feel of our communities? #Business #Industry #Blythewood00Share
