SUMMARY: WRBE, a local radio station in Lucedale, has been serving the community for 63 years. The station was first aired in 1960 by Galloway Corley and has changed ownership multiple times over the years. The call letters for the station were initially WHHT and then changed to WRBE as a tribute to the local high school mascot. In 1990, an FM frequency was added, and the station adopted the same WRBE call letters for both AM and FM. The station primarily plays country music and also serves as a news outlet, covers local high school sports, and hosts a daily swap shop session. Larry Shirley, the current owner, bought the station in 1998. Shirley got into the radio business in 1967 and had previously worked with Herman Kelly, the former owner of WRBE. Despite their differences, Shirley decided to buy the station and has never regretted it.

SUMMARY: Craving an Italian sub, I decided to make one at home since the nearest restaurants are far. The key is finding good bread with a crunchy crust, and local options like Henry’s Café, Le Bakery, and Rouses provide decent choices, though I prefer to hollow them out slightly. For the filling, classic ingredients include lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, pepperoni, capocollo, genoa salami, and cheeses like provolone or taleggio. For a budget-friendly sub, I’d recommend veggies, pepperoni, and seared mortadella with a drizzle of olive oil and a quick oven warm-up to melt the cheese. Don’t skimp on the meat!
