Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

We’ve made it halfway through the week, my friends. As we kick off this hot, sticky August day, I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you and to check in and see how we’re all doing. This new normal is weird but I’m so glad that we have each other. It’s been so amazing to start every morning off with all of you. Our city is growing and changing every day, and seeing a historic building get a new lease on life is exactly the kind of thing that makes me love this weird, wonderful place even more. Plus it’s always nice to start the day with something to look forward to!
