Two Sides To Every Story

Formerly known as the “Sunday Summer Substitute”, editor Cap'n Rick now takes the helm for 'Smooth Sailing Sundays'. As The Commodores sang about Sunday morning, the SSS will focus on easier metas. SSS will also support smaller grids and will mentor new constructors on request. Puzzles released each Sunday around 8am Eastern. Nudges released same day at Noon Eastern. New constructors are welcome.

Oops! I forgot that nudges come out much more quickly for SSS than for other weekly puzzles like MOAT and MEOW. Sorry about the delay!

1. The puzzle title contains your only hint!

2. What else has two sides like a story?

3. Don't be misled by the long entries with their two-word answers, because the grid also has two sides.

4. That said, you may find additional confirmation in the middle of the grid.
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D

Very smooth sailing - but only after taking a fresh look this afternoon (before looking up the nudges).
