Summer. It begins . . .

LCA last week. JCPS today. School is OUT.

It's summertime, y'all.

For students and teachers, hope has sprung anew. Flowers are more fragrant. The sun warms the soul, for you have seen a new heaven and a new earth.

For local Highlands businesses and neighborhood assocaitions, watching as the oncoming herd of teens top the horizon, perspective changes . . .

And the rest of us will just spend a few months of feeling like our city sits directly inside a closed mouth.

But for tonight, it's BEAUTIFUL out there. Let's all enjoy this one, eh?
