THIS TIME LAST YEAR I WAS
organizing my stash of red pens on my
new editor's desk at CityView. Driving
to and from work—then, as a new editor
and now, as a more seasoned one—I
loved seeing the trees in bloom, the
flowers coming up, the birds flitting
about and watching the colors grow
brighter each day.
Spring is a season unlike anything
else.
As a little girl in South Carolina, I can
remember the azalea bushes, pearl white
magnolias and the smell of honeysuckle
as I rode by on my bicycle. In the spring,
you could not pull me inside. I was
always running up and down the street
with my friends on Braddock Point.
In this Dogwood issue, we've collected
an abundance of springtime stories.
Discover where you can hop on the
Cape Fear River for a boat ride and a
history lesson, learn how the community
is shaping the future of Cumberland
County and set up your itinerary for
the ever-favorite Fayetteville Dogwood
Festival at the end of the month.
Plus, get involved with new public
art downtown! Aer reading our Art
story, venture out and snap your most
creative picture of the sculptures and
tag it #cityviewcontest on Instagram for
your chance to have your photograph
published in a future issue!
Whatever you do, find a spot to sit
in the sun, warm up and enjoy all the
possibilities springtime brings.
