Carolyn’s note: Perhaps my favorite of these is the UA Poetry Center, 1508 E. Helen St. with its geometric, glass exterior windows, unique architectural design, quiet library, children’s nook. It even has a calming water feature with tall bamboo in an enclosed lanai outside. If you haven’t visited this oasis in the desert, it’s time.
And if you’re into politics, don’t miss the Museum of Democracy exhibit in the lower level of the Campus Bookstore, 1303 E. University Blvd. The exhibit highlight Presidents JFK and LBJ, and it’s ironic seeing photos of JFK and brother RFK, whose son is now the Sec. of Health & Human Services, under Republican Donald Trump.
