High/Low
Longer, brighter days. Clocks springing forward (don’t forget—starting this year, it’s the second Sunday in March). The mercury breaking zero, we hope! Throw in March Break and PD days and you know everybody in the city will be getting out and about with their kids.

Out-of-town visitors know the best view in town is free and by summertime they’ll be lining up to see it. For now, though, the Peace Tower is our little secret.
