Columbia Citizens

your Wikli-fix: Interdependence Day

Living in a neighborly little burgh like ours, who hasn't entertained notions of simply seceding and going it alone? We celebrate that we're a microcosm of the wider global community, and that's pecisely the point — in a world that too often feels disconnected, we've somehow managed to tie ours together in one place, to offer a rich, warm, textured experience of community. So this week let's declare our interdependence.

This one's a bi-Wikli. Enjoy yourselves on the 4th.
