What a great summer in America! We’re not just squeezing in one big birthday party on July 4th – we’re stretching the “America 250” celebrations into August for a summer-long party to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Summer residents spend a lot of time catching up on what’s changed since last season. New restaurants open, familiar spots introduce new menus, and there’s always something worth checking out around town.
