In this week’s About Town, we get a first look at the new stained-glass windows at Downtown’s historic Clayborn Temple. The windows paint a picture of 1968 with images of striking sanitation workers along with portraits of local civil rights leaders. Looking further east, the new Belltower Coffeehouse is open at Shelby Farms Park.
