THE SOUNDS OF (LATE) SUMMER

The first day of school at Harvey Rice Wraparound is this coming Monday.

To mark the occasion, Tanese Horton, the school's coordination manager, threw a "Welcome Back to School" festival.

Rice Library branch manager and all-around-talented-guy Ali Boyd joined in the festivities, playing drums as some incoming students joined him on vocals.

Listen to their sounds below!

FITTED FOR A HAT

FITTED FOR A HAT

At the corner of Buckeye and East 117th, Ego Adigwe runs Som Di Mma Elegance, a beautiful shop filled from floor to ceiling with clothing, jewelry and carvings from her home country of Nigeria, as well as from Senegal, Mali and India. 

She was kind enough to take a few minutes to share a little about her background with us ... and to demonstrate how she crafts hats right from her storefront.
