What’s Up in the Neighborhood, June 20, 2020

Good morning, my wonderful blog readers.  It’s a beautiful morning, and I hope you all get some fresh air and sunshine this weekend.  And it’s  Father’s Day tomorrow, so in the words of the great baseball announcer Ralph Kiner, it’s Father’s Day, so Happy Birthday to all the fathers out there.  Yeah, I know he said it for Mother’s Day, but work with me here.
