Even before we moved to Seattle, I brought reusable bags with me (almost) every time I went to the grocery store…. Giant, Safeway, Whole Foods, Mom’s, and Trader Joes (where all the cool kids bring their own bags)…you name the store, I had the bags. I’ve long been bothered by the countless plastic bags leaving the stores (except TJ’s). SO MANY plastic bags used for groceries. And not much put in to each bag, either.
This week, Candace and Tom sit down with the newly appointed artistic director of the Downtown Columbia Arts and Cultural Committee, Darin Atwater. Darin is the founder of the Soulful Symphony, which will be the new “house orchestra” for Merriweather Post Pavilion. Check out this episode to hear more about this groundbreaking partnership and how it will promote the arts across Howard County.
A regular update on what we’re up to and what we’re thinking about
