There’s a chill in the air at last, and darkness claims more of our days. That gives us extra time to enjoy evening events, of course, but, with All Hallows Eve drawing near, it encourages the things that go bump in the night to come out to play, too. Whether your taste drifts more toward the light or the dark, we unequivocally have you covered this week.

This week, well, it’s the usual holiday embarrassment of cultural riches, particularly if you’re in the mood for some music.

Before its official founding in 1855, the village of Glendale was home to many blacks escaping slavery through the Underground Railroad. Now, third-generation resident William Parrish is working to keep that history alive.
