SUMMER GUIDE 2002
The official user's manual for sunshine
Ah summer!
Mild winter be damned. It's just not the same until the
mercury hits 85
and you're able to bask in the warmth that won't disintegrate the next
day. Summer 2002 promises all that we've come to expect of the hot
season, and more. As our nation continues with its spiritual and
financial recovery, its
possible that this summer, more than any other, will usher in a rebirth.
Lifting our flagging spirits and boosting our weary souls, summertime
can bake away our woes and return us to simple joys like art fairs,
street fests, mega concerts, blockbuster movies, monkey knife fights...
(OK, maybe not) and, of course, more outdoor shopping than you've ever
seen. So get out of your house and revel in the healing power of
sun and city.
