Accordion music. Played by clowns. Lots of them, playing for as many days in a row as possible. Right outside the man’s home on West Pine Street.

The man who plans to send in the clowns is Justin Beights, an accordionist himself, as well as a citizen who decided it was time to push back against the negative press that descended on his city after the so-called Unite the Right rally took place there a little more than a year ago.
