The River Runs Again
There was a time when our river was more of a punchline than a point of pride. Locals called it “Muddy Creek,” and not affectionately. Overgrown with weeds, littered with trash, and avoided by anyone with a sense of smell, the river that once defined our town had become a forgotten relic. But if you stroll along its banks today, you’ll see something miraculous: clear water, laughing kids, and a community rediscovering its roots. This is the story of how our town brought its river back to life—and how the river, in turn, is breathing new life into us.

The Battle of Karansebes, 1788: The Austrian Army Accidentally Fighting Itself in the Chaos of War
Among the most bewildering and farcical episodes in military history, the Battle of Karansebes stands out as a stunning example of miscommunication, panic, and human error spiraling out of control. Fought during the Austro-Turkish War of 1787–1791, the event is infamous not for a valiant clash with the Ottoman enemy, but for a chaotic episode where an Austrian army ended up attacking itself. Taking place on the night of September 17–18, 1788, in what is now modern-day Romania, the so-called battle involved confusion, fear, and an abundance of alcohol - ultimately leading to hundreds of Austrian soldiers dead or wounded by friendly fire, long before the Ottomans even arrived.

The sky above was a serene blue, and in the distance, the great mountain—Vesuvius—stood quietly, cloaked in a light mist. Lucia could hear the clatter of hooves and the distant calls of market sellers echoing through the city.
