| | Playing Catch With Marilyn Monroe: A Snapshot Into the Making of "Bus Stop" | By: Luke Yankee | Acclaimed playwright and memoirist Luke Yankee shares a deeply personal glimpse into the making of the classic film Bus Stop — and the extraordinary friendship between Marilyn Monroe and his mother, Oscar-winning actress Eileen Heckart, that blossomed behind the scenes. Drawn from firsthand memories, family stories, and conversations with his mother, Yankee paints a portrait of Marilyn rarely seen by the public: funny, vulnerable, intelligent, insecure, generous, and deeply determined to be taken seriously as an artist. Far from the glamorous stereotype created by Hollywood, this Marilyn laughs with children, struggles with self-doubt, and forms a profound bond with another gifted actress navigating fame, ambition, and loneliness. | See it on Amazon → |

| Cultural Festivals: Celebrating Diversity in Your Community | One of the most joyful ways to connect with others and learn something new is by attending a local cultural festival. These events—whether hosted in parks, town squares, or community centers—offer a vibrant glimpse into the traditions, food, music, and stories that shape different cultures around the world. Even a single afternoon spent at a cultural festival can open your eyes (and your taste buds!) to something wonderful you hadn’t experienced before. | Cultural festivals aren't just about celebration; they’re about connection. They invite people of all backgrounds to come together, not just to observe, but to participate. You might join a traditional dance, try your hand at a craft, sample dishes you’ve never heard of, or listen to music that moves you in a totally unexpected way. These moments help break down stereotypes, spark curiosity, and build bridges across generations and cultures. | For older adults, cultural festivals can be especially meaningful. They’re often family-friendly and easy to navigate, and they provide a great opportunity to meet neighbors, support local artisans, and share stories from your own heritage. Even if you’re not the one dancing or drumming, your presence and engagement help create a more inclusive and curious community spirit. | What’s more, many festivals now highlight cross-cultural fusion—blending traditions in beautiful ways, like Japanese taiko drums with jazz, or Mexican food trucks beside Middle Eastern coffee stands. These events remind us that cultures are not fixed—they’re living, breathing, and evolving. | You don’t have to travel the world to explore it. Often, it’s right there in your neighborhood. Whether it’s a Lunar New Year parade, a Greek food fair, a Caribbean music festival, or a Diwali celebration at the local library, showing up with an open heart can lead to the kind of experience that stays with you long after the lights go down. | So grab a friend, bring your curiosity, and get ready to enjoy the rhythms, flavors, and friendships that only a good cultural festival can bring. | What’s your favorite part of a cultural festival? | |

| From the RetireHub Archives: Would you be interested in helping preserve local history in your community? |
|
| | When it comes to preserving local history, our poll shows a mix of curiosity and gratitude. While 15% of respondents would love to share personal stories or photos, and 19% are interested in attending memory-sharing events, the largest group—45%—said it’s not really their thing, but they’re glad others are keeping the past alive. A smaller group (6%) is willing to help organize or digitize materials, while 11% aren’t sure where to start. Overall, the results highlight that while not everyone wants to dive in hands-first, there’s strong support for keeping community memories alive. | OUR FAVORITE COMMENTS | “I would be interested in helping in small ways. We're busy with DIY projects and limited finances, so we probably can't help much.” “Studebaker does a great job locally in South Bend. ” “Was curious about a road name and discovered the neighborhood was one of the first 30 year mortgages after the great depression, land created from the former summer estate of first President of the Met Museum... And he bought the land from the folks who went on to farm Peaches in GA where today the Masters Golf tournament is played. Curiosity about change is bringing folks together to tell their own stories and share memories. Come visit us! https://meadowbrookhistory.blogspot.com”
| | Surprising Side Hustles After 60: Creative Work That Pays | Who says work after 60 has to be traditional? Many older adults are finding joy—and extra income—through unexpected side gigs that tap into their creativity, skills, and sense of humor. Whether it’s crafting crossword puzzles, sewing outfits for pets, designing quirky home items, or building custom furniture for furry companions, these offbeat jobs prove that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to “retirement” work. | What makes these roles so appealing is that they blend passion with purpose. For some, it’s about staying active and engaged. For others, it’s a way to turn a long-time hobby into a paycheck. Either way, the common thread is fun, flexibility, and doing something that feels entirely their own. | READ MORE | |

| Slang Phrase of the Day | Phrase: Slept-on gem | Meaning: A “slept-on gem” refers to something—like a movie, book, place, or product—that’s high quality or really enjoyable but hasn’t received the attention or appreciation it deserves.
