Hope everyone’s enjoying the Thanksgiving long weekend. Winter is knocking on our door. If you’re looking to stay in shape before the ski season starts, there are plenty of ways to keep moving around town this week.
A couple things to note before we get to the list.
The Glory Days of Rotary Park
I was 6 in 1990 and didn’t live here yet, but this video makes Rotary Park look incredible. That witches hat, tall swings, actual risk - you know, before safety consultants ruined everything. The fear and thrill were priceless. Now we get tiny plastic structures designed to eliminate all risk. Thanks to Nicholas Mather for reminding us what we lost. Excited to see what’s next for the park.
Share Your Words Before It’s Too Late
One week left to submit your work for the SUYFA Collective’s Local Poetry & Prose Anthology. Got a poem in your journal? A story you’ve been sitting on? That half-finished piece in your notes app that keeps nagging at you? This is your moment. Deadline is October 17th at midnight. Submit here.
