It’s when the tourism fades away from your town.
It’s midweek, it’s that exact moment when it’s 10am at your coffee shop on a Wednesday in February that reminds you that your town is still Local. Local Summer is walking into your brewery and knowing there won’t be a wait. It’s enjoying your local hotel at the local rate. Your everyday is your Local Summer. You enjoy the change the city is goes through when tourism kicks in, because you love connecting with new people and locals alike . You’re proud of your little town. You enjoy the local spots and the new spots the same.
