🌤️ Mid-September rundown

🎨 There will be more than 50 art shows across the neighborhood as part of the annual League of Longfellow Artists (LoLa) art crawl next weekend, September 20-21, from 10-4.

It's the marquee event of the volunteer-run group, which launched the crawl in 2009 and also puts on a winter show. The shows are scattered about the neighborhood, most in homes and backyards, some grouped together at stores.

You can find a PDF map here, and hard copies will be available at many neighborhood businesses. Or, just look for the colorful lawn signs. (Longfellow Whatever is proud to be a pillar sponsor of the 2025 LoLa Art Crawl.)
