What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

Speaking of housing, if anyone in Dunedin knows of a self-contained unit that's: -close to public transit -under $500pw -ideally pet-friendly (no current pet, but I'd like to get a dog) -quiet, warm and fairly low maintenance I'm looking, and would love something that works long-term.
