It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

Why it matters: It's the city's very best festival season, usually promising minimal rain, zero humidity and just the right temperature to rock some boots or a statement jacket. The big picture: Richmond is a town that will "throw a festival for just about anything ...""It's like they've got an unspoken competition to see who can come up with the most obscure reason to block off half the streets for a weekend."Wait, no, that's not us writing.

The City of Aurora’s plan for a homeless navigation campus focusing on “work first” is coming together. The City Council will vote during its study session Monday on a resolution sponsored by council member Dustin Zvonek that spells out how the campus will operate. “The City of Aurora wishes to pursue an alternative to the ‘Housing First’ approach, by setting requirements and expectations for housing to include participation in addiction recovery, mental health, and job training programs to better address homelessness,” the resolution states. “It is inhumane and economically unwise to allow individuals experiencing homelessness to remain on the streets, or simply offer unconditional housing, rather than providing them with the necessary support services that offer a structured path to self-sufficiency and housing.”

Hathorne, the cozy West Nashville restaurant that is closing this weekend, had many admirers. Bon Appétit named it one of the nation's best new restaurants in 2019. Mayor Freddie O'Connell told Axios last year that Hathorne was one of his favorites.State of plate: We asked O'Connell if he'd like to pay tribute to the departing restaurant and its owner John Stephenson.What he's saying: "I've followed Chef John since he transformed Fido from a coffee shop with good coffee to a low-cost fine dining experience," O'Connell said in a statement."Hathorne was a remarkable experiment in delicious food with a great bar and great service, and I only wish it had succeeded longer. Trying to sustain it through a pandemic was a true challenge, but we enjoyed takeout and the patio."The bottom line: "I'll miss it and will be wherever John winds up next," O'Connell said.
