Summer’s here!
We’ve been waiting for this carefree season all year long. Celebrate with us as we bring you the latest events, newsworthy tibits, columns and feature stories that help you thrive after 55 as you make the most of these sizzling days and starry nights.
We’ve got a bushel basket full of fresh stories to share. As you can see, we spotlight Memphis Kiddie Park on this issue’s cover — the nation’s oldest park of its kind — on the eve of its 75th anniversary. In the feature story, you will take a joy ride with new owner Scott Wintner, whose grandfather established this classic park in Brooklyn.
This issue also features an Aging in Place section, part of our A Place for Us series on housing considerations for older adults. Find out how Boomers have broadened the definition of AIP, with an emphasis on aging in the right place, which may take you someplace new.
Our faithful columnists bring us the latest on beach days with the grandkids, cruising through Alaska, digital assets, rehydrating, the pitfalls of a simple will, and library lore.
We round out the magazine with our annual Summer Fun Guide, lazy summertime reads, a calendar of events and so much more.
We’ve got you covered in our digital edition of Thrive’s Summer 2026 issue below and our full-color printed magazine at a newsstand near you, all local and free of charge.
