Years Ago: 1920Mysterious lights flashed  on and off and weaved back and forth over the Courthouse lawn in Auburn Thursday night. A small girl going home with her parents from the movies was afraid the prisoners were escaping and couldn’t understand when her father told her some men were going fishing tomorrow and were out catching “nightwalkers’ —which are the best of Maine’s worms.50 Years Ago: 1970A survey crew is working in the Turner and Center Streets, Auburn area preparing data for the planning of the Union Street Bypass project. The State Highway Commission will hold a public hearing on the proposal on Aug 25 at the Auburn City Council chamber.25 Years Ago: 1995A tradition at Sherwood Heights School is to have each student become a gardener and plant flowers in the center courtyard. This activity reminds students the importance of planting trees and plants are for their environment.

They talked for a minute or two outside The Swamp before the Auburn game, and Franks posed for a picture on his scooter.RELATED: College marching bands banding together after multiple fan attacks“It’s pretty awesome, getting to talk to him,” Ramsey said.Hays also had a personal encounter with Franks, one that changed the way she felt about Florida’s lightning-rod passer.As the Gators strolled from the bus to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium before the LSU game last year, Franks walked past — then turned around and backtracked 10 steps just to give Hays’ husband a high five.

Coco Shop Designer Taylor Simmons Wore Floral Oscar de la Renta for Her Outdoor Ceremony Overlooking the Ocean - Vogue

CDC recommendations to ensure safety and reduce the risk of contracting and transmitting COVID-19.Taylor Simmons and Jameson McFadden actually met at Acme—the famed cocktail bar in downtown New York that has served as the location for so many romances and rendezvous that it spawned an Instagram account and subsequent podcast focused on millennial dating. It was late September of 2017 and Taylor was with an old friend from Antigua, a place she grew up visiting often as both her parents and grandparents had homes there. (Her parents live on the island now for part of the year.) She now runs Coco Shop, a clothing brand that was founded in 1949 and had a 60-year run on the island, making and selling printed cotton clothing. Taylor relaunched the company in 2019, and it’s quickly taken off. Coincidentally, Jameson was at Acme with someone Taylor and her friend had grown up with on the island. “This makes Antigua sound big,” Taylor jokes. “But our community is tiny!” While their friends were catching up, Jameson, who works in finance, introduced himself, and after a few minutes, asked if Taylor would have dinner with him. “He asked one or two more times, and eventually, I agreed, and we went out to dinner a few days later,” she remembers.The two started dating and then eventually Jameson proposed on a quiet street in Rome on the last night of a long weekend road trip through Puglia. “We had spent five days exploring Puglia from Polignano a Mare to Gagliano del Capo and then gone ba... https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/taylor-simmons-jameson-mcfadden-cape-cod-wedding
