SCOTT ADAIR
Publisher CHARLES A. WOMACK III publisher@yesweekly.com
One of SCOTT ADAIR’s favorite memories is what Ella Fitzgerald said to him when he played with her and the Greensboro Symphony in 1983. “A lot of symphonies don’t have their own saxes, and have to hire adjunct players when a show calls for that instrument.”

According to the restaurant’s well-organized and informative website, “RADICI” means roots or root vegetables in Italian. But Radici is not an Italian restaurant. The restaurant’s name refers to its vegan cuisine, first, and second, to an effort to grow roots in a devoted local following. 6 Among Wake Forest University’s hidden treasures stands the LAM MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY on the edge of its Reynolda campus. Initially inaugurated as
the Museum of Man in 1963, the institution underwent a name change in 1987 to the Museum of Anthropology before finally settling on its current name, the Timothy S.Y. Lam Museum of Anthropology as of last year.

LEGACY is an overused word. A great athlete, for example, may claim that hitting lots of home runs is his legacy. The founder of a business is said to be leaving a legacy to his children when they succeed him. 9 There are so many good things in Jordan Peele’s NOPE that it’s a shame the film doesn’t really work. It lacks the sociological snap of Get Out (2017) and Us (2019), it’s more self-indulgent than both, and ultimately doesn’t up to the sum of its parts — try as it might (and does). 14 It is no secret that our communities in the Triad suffer from FOOD INSECURITY. According to the Greater High Point Food Alliance, the Greensboro/ High Point area currently ranks number 14 in the entire nation for food insecurity. 18 SHOVELS & ROPE come to Winston-Salem to close out the second annual Summer Shindihg Concert Series at the Ramkat on August 10. The two-person folk-rock family band featuring married couple, Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent, Shovels & Rope’s Winston show will kick off a new leg of the “Manticore Tour.”
