Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts

👍👍 When the Center first opened they spoke of having regular jazz performances as part of their events. As most jazz fans know that is a promise seldom followed up on, or kept.

👍👍 A peaceful mid-afternoon walk. The weather was fine. The water a bit too cold for a swim, but I sat and enjoyed the waves. Very rare to have a solo lake experience and I was like a kid.
