Welcome to CityView Today! Our cover story for our newest magazine, “The Women’s Issue,” is about Cumberland County Public Library’s first Artist in Residence, Kia Love. She’s a textile artist who’s helping our community reconnect with textile arts through open studio time, workshops—two are scheduled later this month—and more.
In today’s newsletter: Senior Columnist Bill Kirby Jr. on where things stand with the renovation of the Crown Theatre and adjacent arena. Plus, I introduce you to the rest of the March magazine’s content in my monthly column.
Thanks for reading,
