Aurora, CO

About 80 people overtook Aurora’s City Council meeting Monday, causing the mayor to recess the meeting three times in an effort to bring about order. The council then agreed to extend public invited to be heard beyond the one-hour time limit. The speakers showed up to chide the City Council for not punishing the officer that shot and killed Kilyn Lewis. Lewis was a suspect in a crime which is why police approached him. Body camera footage released by the Aurora Police Department showed Lewis did not have a gun and repeatedly yelled “I don’t have nothing!” with his hands in the air. Despite this, officer Michael Dieck killed him with a single shot from his rifle. Lewis never had more than a cell phone in his hand, the video showed.

Summer in a small town brings with it a unique charm. The slower pace, friendly locals, and idyllic landscapes create an atmosphere that invites relaxation and exploration. Smithsonian Magazine recently named Scituate, Massachusetts as one of the best small towns to celebrate summer. This selection is due in part to its beautiful seaside views and historic landmarks, such as the Old Scituate Light - one of the oldest lighthouses in the United States.
