The Last Long Sunset: When Summer Quietly Slips Away
The Englewood REVIEW just arrived, and it’s our final official issue of the summer.
Oscar Wilde once put it perfectly — “…and all at once, summer collapsed into fall.” We’ve all heard it before, but it hits home every time. One minute the kids are racing out of school, summer stretches out ahead, and we’re knee-deep in trips and late nights. Blink, and suddenly it’s back-to-school shopping, nerves, and those last, golden sunsets.
By now, the first day is behind us. Our local kids have pushed through the first day with all the emotions: jittery, excited, and ready. You’ll find more of our Back-To-School Tips as you ease into the new season. The school year may have started, but these ideas hold up, no matter the month.
There’s plenty on the horizon for Englewood. Pioneer Days lines up with Labor Day weekend, and the next Englewood REVIEW will be a special, expanded Pioneer Days edition. We’ll dig into local history, bring you the latest event details, and share stories that’ll get you into the spirit.
Don’t miss “From Woodstock to Octoberfest,” where Sydney Martin and The Artist Colony roll out a whole lineup of can’t-miss autumn events and surprises.
Catch our Englewood Examiner Profile of Tony Dunbar. Lawyer, novelist, public servant: he wears many hats. Plus, our travel feature “Join the Adventure” follows Dave and Donna Needham’s latest journey with the Englewood REVIEW.
We’ll leave you with a line from Hal Borland: “Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night.” That feels about right here. Summer fades, but the good spirit sticks around.
So, swing by and grab your Englewood REVIEW. Let’s savor what’s left of summer, together.
