LOOSE ENDS 5/14: Community Police Initiative
×
By Pam Hersh
The bulletin board in Small World Coffee on Witherspoon Street is actually an art exhibit of index cards. The theme of the pop art is:
What Have You Learned to Appreciate Because of COVID?
The responses include sentiments we all have felt this year: hugs, kisses, grandma and grandpa, siblings, streaming services, in-person school, live concerts, classical music, jazz music, grocery store clerks, baristas, and, of course, bathrooms.
I would add one more wonky thing that I never would have said prior to COVID – data. More specifically, I now treasure decision-making based on data and how one small data-induced step on my part can lead to one giant step forward for everyone.
