Every day on Patch, locals share their opinions on a variety of subjects.

Here are some of the most interesting blogs from the past week:

• Have We Failed as Historians?: Any honest assessment of the degree to which historical societies, museums, and schools have disseminated historical information to the public writ large is an agonizing reappraisal because one quickly comes to the conclusion that our endeavors have been shockingly limited in success. 
• Heat Wave Safety: To quote both Ethel Merman and Marilyn Monroe, last week we were “having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave”. 
• Just Sixties — Outdoor Music Summer Concert: Bring your tie-dyed shirts, fringed jackets and love beads and relive the fads, culture, news and Americana of the sixties, while listening to your favorite hits from The Beatles,The Beach Boys, The Doors, The Temptations, The Rolling Stones,The Monkees, Sonny & Cher, Simon & Garfunkel and so many more.
