Do you like this?

We chose this cover because, to us, it just screams summer in our area. Live music in the sun with a lush, green landscape as the background -- isn't that how we spend so many of those hot summer evenings?

Here's what's in the issue:

American Dreamers: Hey, Arizona, get over yourself. Immigrants – from Guyana, England, Venezuela and Italy, to name just a few places – bring new ideas, jobs and excitement.

Musical Legend: At age 91, our cover guy Joe Thompson – the Mebane fiddler who’s mentored the Carolina Chocolate Drops, among others – can’t seem to put down his instrument. There are too many young musicians eager to learn from him.

Off and Running: Chapel Hill offers you the trails and the weather. We offer you tips on how to run while avoiding injuries, no matter what your age.

Summer Fresh: It’s that time of year when the farmers’ markets are bursting with the finest produce. Our readers share their favorite recipes – from a summer berry vodka drink to fruit muffins.

Journey to India: You don’t have to fly to Mumbai or even drive to Durham to get your curry fix, thanks to restaurants Saffron, Mint and Tandoor.

Fashionably Early: Suri Cruise and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt aren’t the only ones finding their personal style at an early age. Thanks to our retailers, kids all over town are looking their best, whether they’re donning onesies or tutus.

70-Something and Single: More and more residents of CCRCs (continuing care retirement communities) are finding love later in life. Plus, a directory of CCRCs in our area.
