While we hear cicadas every year, with this additional brood the sound may be especially loud.

One Good Thing: Weaver Budd Law (352 E. Charles St.) has added two Little Free Pantries in front of their offices. Similar to Little Free Libraries, these structures hold shelf stable foods and household essentials. Have something to give? Donate away! Need something? Take it!
