This Sun...This Weather!! The Retail Therapy Guide 5/21/2021

It's the weekend! The fast moving pace that is Beacon's Saturdays and Sundays. Word on the street is - people are at least paranoid now for doing U-Turns all over the place. We overheard a conversation about who was thinking they were going to get pulled over. Know how to not get pulled over? By not doing U-Turns - literally all over Beacon. On Willow Street - the rate of U-Turns last Saturday morning was 1 per minute. We have pictures, and we will start posting them. The Mask Mandate. Beacon's businesses are posting their preferences. Most are keeping others safe by keeping masks UP. So please respect the signs when you see them. Or go home! Love ya :) Plenty of masks still for sale in Beacon's boutiques! This adorable mask sign is in Meyer's Olde Dutch, which is OPEN starting today! Their new signage was designed by ALBB's sister company Katie James, Inc., and we are recommending whatever cold cocktail they just put on the menu.

BINNACLE BOOKS 321 Main Street, Beacon Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, “Notes on Grief” “‘Notes on Grief’ is an exquisite work of meditation, remembrance, and hope, written in the wake of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s beloved father’s death in the summer of 2020. As the COVID-19 pandemic raged around the world and kept Adichie and her family members separated from one another, her father succumbed unexpectedly to complications of kidney failure. Expanding on her original ‘New Yorker’ piece, Adichie shares how this loss shook her to her core. She writes about being one of the millions of people grieving this year; about the familial and cultural dimensions of grief and also about the loneliness and anger that are unavoidable in it. With signature precision of language, and glittering, devastating detail on the page–and never without touches of rich, honest humor–Adichie weaves together her own experience of her father’s death with threads of his life story, from his remarkable survival during the Biafran war, through a long career as a statistics professor, into the days of the pandemic in which he’d stay connected with his children and grandchildren over video chat from the family home in Abba, Nigeria. In the compact format of ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ and ‘Dear Ijeawele,’ Adichie delivers a gem of a book–a book that fundamentally connects us to one another as it probes one of the most universal human experiences. Notes on Grief is a book for this moment—work readers will treasure and share now more than ever–and yet will prove durable and timeless, an indispensable addition to Adichie’s canon.” Binnacle Books is a Sponsor, thank you!
