We’ve begun the 20’s. The last time the world saw the 20’s, jazz took its place as a music form to be reckoned with; women earned the right to vote; the League of Nations was established; and the first commercially-licensed radio station began its first broadcast.
The 1920’s were an iconic period that helped define the human identity. What about the 2020’s? What’s in store for us this time around?
We’re no future predictors, but we do know what’s happening in the city to help you make full use of the first month of a totally new era altogether.
