Every time I go to the Farmers Market, I'm reminded of what makes Dublin special. The market is packed — genuinely crowded — and yet somehow everyone is smiling, patient, and happy to be there. People hold doors, let strollers through, strike up conversations with strangers. It's Dublin at its best, compressed into a few city blocks on a Saturday morning.

What I love most is that almost every stand is run by a local small business owner — actual farmers, people launching something new, neighbors betting on themselves. You're not buying from a corporate booth. You're buying directly from the person who grew it, made it, or dreamed it up. That matters, and you can feel it in how they talk about what they're selling.

Some people tell me it's expensive. I get that. But my wife and I treat it like a mini date — a couple of hours walking around, grabbing something good to eat, running into neighbors. When you look at it that way, you're not just buying tomatoes. You're getting a Saturday morning out. Hard to put a price on that.

If you haven't been in a while, it's worth the trip. Few things feel more like our community than a Saturday morning there.

Somewhere out at Muirfield Village this week, a Dublin kid got close enough to watch Scottie Scheffler work through a practice round. Maybe spotted Luke Bryan on the course, or saw Peyton Manning laughing with a pro near the clubhouse. For a lot of our kids, tournament week is the closest thing to a front-row seat to something genuinely world-class — and it happens right here in their backyard every year.

But some of our kids had a different kind of week. While the galleries filled up and the traffic backed down Muirfield Drive, a handful of young entrepreneurs set up shop nearby with a folding table, a pitcher, and a handwritten sign. Lemonade stands outside the Memorial during tournament week are about as Dublin as it gets — thousands of people walking past, wallets out, happy to be outside on a summer afternoon. If you're going to learn what it feels like to run a business, there are worse classrooms.

Our kids did it for years. What surprised me every time wasn't how much money they made — it was everything else. Figuring out how to price a cup. Realizing they'd run out of ice by noon and had to solve that problem on the fly. Learning to make eye contact and say thank you to a stranger. Watching them count their money at the end of the day with that particular kind of pride that only comes from earning something yourself. No lesson I could have sat them down to teach would have stuck the way those afternoons did.

Tournament week brings out the best of Dublin every year — the golf, the crowds, the energy. But the kids out there running their own little operations on the sidewalk? That might be my favorite part of the whole week. If you spot one on your way in or out, stop and buy something — even if it's just a dollar. It'll mean more to them than you know.

Here's something worth knowing about the city we live in.

Dublin is the first and only city in the United States to hold four AAA credit ratings simultaneously — from S&P Global Ratings, Fitch, Moody's, and KBRA. AAA is the highest rating any of those agencies can assign. It's the financial equivalent of a perfect score.

What does that actually mean for us? In plain terms, it means the people running our city's finances have been doing it exceptionally well for a very long time. Dublin has held its Fitch AAA rating since 2000 and its Moody's rating since 2004. Those aren't flukes — they get reaffirmed every year.

For residents, it means the city is prepared to weather economic challenges without cutting services. For businesses, it signals a stable, well-managed community worth investing in. And for anyone who's ever wondered why Dublin keeps attracting corporate headquarters and high-quality development while other suburbs struggle — this is part of the answer.

Just like in any city, not everyone agrees on everything happening at city hall. But keeping the city's finances this clean, for this long, is something all of us can be proud of. It’s worth taking a moment and appreciate it.
