Summer. The promise of warm temperatures encourages us to get outside and experience all that the region has to offer. This issue we highlight two art districts for you to explore with plenty of outdoor creative installations: NEON in Norfolk and ViBe in Virginia Beach. We also encourage you to try the suggested outdoor activities in our photo montage, "Summer's Here, So Get Outside." And if you are into exploring nature, our "Day Trip" column covers all that you can do at False Cape State Park in Virginia Beach. Other editorial content includes an overview of how COVID-19 changed retail and consumer behavior; a piece on small business owners and how essential they are to economic development; and a viewpoint of digital news and how community media can be part of it.
