Postcards, Pictures of You, and the Week in Review

Danger signs across the market are building... but the music is still playing loudly.

Dear Fellow Expat:

My wife and daughter have departed for the Sunday Taylor Swift show in Miami.

Today, it’s just a man in a tracksuit…

Taking in all that’s right with this place.

The windows are wide open on a 75-degree day across Lutherville.

The light scent of cumin and pepper has filtered down through the sky from the McCormick spice factories. A brisk breeze will kick up with a slight chill, a reminder that real fall weather is just around the corner.

And - for once - it’s not Taylor Swift and country music blasting across three floors.

But a playlist that includes Talking Heads’ Born Under Punches, the Clash’s Straight to Hell, and Pictures of You by the Cure.
