Signs Of Spring :: Retail Therapy Guide 2/22/2022

Welcome to another installment of Friday Snow Day In Beacon! You needed another winter workout, right? Just as the daffodils were beginning to shoot out of the ground, a snow-sleet blanketed them. Dutchess County announced its preparation, and the Beacon City School District closed. Don't think this is it - there were a couple years in a row when snowfall withered the magnolia blossoms.

Meanwhile, Beacon's Annual Parade of Green is back on the event schedule! This annual parade marked the first parade that was closed days after the pandemic was being declared (read about that memory lane here). Beacon has not approved any parade in the two years of the pandemic. The first one to launch was the inaugural Beacon Spring Celebration Of Light sidewalk parade last weekend, which was cold and blustery but very warm in spirit and fun.

The Beacon Parade of Green is a symbolic come-back. Read about it here, and save the date of Saturday, March 12, 2022, at 12pm.

BINNACLE BOOKS
321 Main Street, Beacon

Jessie Singer, “There Are No Accidents: The Deadly Rise of Injury and Disaster — Who Profits and Who Pays the Price” available at Binnacle! “In this revelatory book, Singer tracks accidental death in America from turn of the century factories and coal mines to today’s urban highways, rural hospitals, and Superfund sites. Drawing connections between traffic accidents, accidental opioid overdoses, and accidental oil spills, Singer proves that what we call accidents are hardly random. Rather, who lives and dies by an accident in America is defined by money and power. She also presents a variety of actions we can take as individuals and as a society to stem the tide of “accidents”—saving lives and holding the guilty to account.”
