The September 2020 issue of Clarksville Living Magazine pulls up a stool at Gladiator Brewing, reads the zodiac in quarantine, and surveys learning's many new forms.

“Gladiator Brewing Co.” profiles the Clarksville brewery at 214 Tiny Town Road and the craft behind its lineup, as different styles of beer take shape under one roof — a welcome local-business bright spot in a difficult year, and a gathering place adapting to the moment.

“Zodiacs in Quarantine” brings the issue's humor, riffing on how no two zodiac signs are handling lockdown the same way, each personality coping in its own recognizable style — a light, knowing read for anyone climbing the walls at home.

“Alternative Learning” meets the back-to-school season's central question head-on, surveying the online, on-campus, on-post and hybrid options available — with scholarships still available — as students and families navigated education in a pandemic fall.

The recurring Pet Corner turns to cats this month, with guidance for anyone who has one or is thinking about adopting a kitten, alongside the issue's regular departments and photo pages.

Together the features balance a cold pint, a laugh at the stars and a serious look at schooling — the mix of levity and substance that carried the magazine, and its readers, through the strangest of years.

It is a characteristically varied September number, finding a local brewery to celebrate, a joke to share and a genuinely useful guide to a school year no one had planned for.

The recurring departments and photo pages round out a September number that balances a cold pint, a laugh at the stars and a clear-eyed guide to a school year no one had planned for. It is the magazine's signature mix of levity and substance, exactly the tonic a community climbing the walls at home needed as autumn arrived. It captures a city refusing to let a hard autumn flatten its spirit, keeping its humor, its favorite gathering spots and its focus on the kids all at once.
