I was having dinner out with my hubby one night after Labor Day when I overheard a conversation from another table. One person was saying, “I’m glad our summer has finally arrived.” That comment confused me. It was after Labor Day- wasn’t summer unofficially over already? I heard someone else say, “Yes, and thank God the locals’ summer has finally arrived.” Huh?

That prompted me to look into what exactly a “locals’ summer” was and why I wasn’t in the know. I Googled it.
