Introducing Two Exciting New Series for 2026
This January, ILoveOV launches two companion series that bridge mythology and history, beginning appropriately with the turning of the new year.
If you have not read this, you should. What would Benjamin Franklin say about Oro Valley?
Featured Founding Citizens celebrates the remarkable individuals who shaped American history and values. Beginning with Benjamin Franklin—inventor, diplomat, and quintessential self-made man—this series profiles the visionaries whose ideas and actions laid the foundation for our nation. Like our popular Featured Citizen interviews with local leaders, these historical profiles will reveal the human stories behind the monuments.
Mythical Figures explores the legendary characters woven into our cultural fabric—those symbolic beings who help us make sense of the seasons, celebrate traditions, and mark life’s passages. We kick off with Father Time and Baby New Year, those inseparable icons of transition who remind us that endings and beginnings are forever intertwined. Each month, we’ll explore a different mythical figure and the timeless stories they represent.
Both series will appear monthly throughout 2026, offering Oro Valley residents a fresh perspective on the figures—real and imagined—who continue to influence our lives today.
