The Last Day of Summer It was the last Sunday in August—the kind of day that feels like it’s clutching at summer with both hands. The trees were still green, the air was warm, and the river flowed smooth and quiet beneath the old wooden bridge.

Dancing Through Hard Times: The Rise of the Recession pop
The first time I heard the term “recession pop,” I thought it was a joke. After all, what could possibly be so joyful about a struggling economy, skyrocketing rents, and high grocery bills that you’d consider taking a part-time job as a cucumber farmer?
