The March / April 2026 cover article is on Pape Ndiaye Balley at House of Africa in Plaza-Midwood. He has been there for about three decades. It’s a beautiful store you should explore. “If you can’t get to Africa, we’ll bring Africa to you.” (Don’t forget that Juneteenth festival is coming up soon!)

In each issue of My City, as always, Martin “the Clown” Barry gives us his advice column. He answers the difficult questions, including whether or not cereal is a soup. Dig in.
