letter from thepublisher<br />
Dear Readers,<br />
Out with the old, in with the new. September<br />
seems to consistently introduce “the new.”<br />
With the latest season, schedules, sporting<br />
events and activities, I find myself refreshed<br />
but challenged with juggling the changes.<br />
While downtown, make sure you pay a<br />
tribute to the Orpheum as this month marks<br />
its 90th anniversary. SPLURGE! takes you<br />
through the history timeline on page 76.<br />

topic of conversation involving downtown<br />
