Publisher's Notes 

 
 

 

Well, I can’t figure this weather.  It was warmer in March than it was in April.  I wonder what the Merry Month of May will bring…hopefully normalcy.

 

With Memorial Day this month, we have again written about the corn poppies of Flanders Fields, please make a contribution if you see someone selling them. There are also tips on growing the live version in the Urban Garden column.

 

Outdoor dining is in full swing in Old Town as our fine restaurants welcome spring. With that in mind, don’t forget to make your Mother’s Day reservations early!

 

 

 

 

 

Old Town Crier fans Jimmy Madden and his wife Camila Cecchini have fun with the OTC on the beach in Florianópolis SC, Brazil. Florianópolis, also known as Floripa, is the capital city and second largest city of Santa Catarina, a state in southern Brazil. Jimmy can be found behind the bar at Flying Fish and Camilla at LaTasca in Old Town!
