First Responder Appreciation at 2nd Sunday

Susan Lucas

Thanks!

They protect and serve, and they don’t ask much in return. We appreciate the first responders who help make 2nd Sunday a safe pedestrian event on a normally busy street. Martin’s BBQ Joint does too! So much so that they send over lunch for each of our supporting officers.

Remembering Steve Jobs

Susan Lucas

Steve Jobs died October 5, 2011. We remember him with admiration and gratitude.

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
— Steve Jobs, 1997
