As you may have noticed by the cover, we are taking a peek at some swim trunks so you might be inspired to freshen your poolside attire, if needed or desired. We chose a couple that incorporate a fun, frisky use of color and overall are not bad… And, it makes for a little eye candy, if you are inclined. Page 16.

A few pages into this issue we have a guest article provided by our local FBI contacts regarding the significance of reporting hate crimes and standing together to fight hate whenever possible. We also included a quote from the lovely and wonderful Pete Buttigieg about President Biden stepping out of the race. As always, so eloquent and thoughtful.

As many of you may already know, the founder/publisher of MGW newsmagazine, Linda Birner, has passed. We bid her farewell on page 7.

Further into the magazine, look for Nancy Pelosi, John Waters, Sara Bareilles and even Bob Dylan. All very entertaining. Chris Narloch also takes a look at four movies, from exciting to super creepy. You can find his mini reviews on page 15.

Be sure to not miss Matt Burlingame’s “Out & About” column on page 19. As we often remark, it is “chocked full” of great things to do and see over the next week or two.

Of course, there’s more, but it is easier to just pick up a copy or check out this new issue online, for free.

We hope you are staying cool and hydrated during these hot summer days. And that maybe, just maybe, you might pick up a dashing new bathing suit to dazzle the crowd next time you are at a hot summer pool party.
