​

Good morning, Montgomery County. The haunting melody of "Goodbye Horses" has captivated fans since its appearance in "The Silence of the Lambs," but few knew the enigmatic story behind its creator. Now, the documentary "Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus" arrives at The Neon for one night only on May 28, revealing how filmmaker Eva Aridijs Fuentes accidentally discovered the mysterious musician working as a rideshare driver—only to have Diane Luckey pass away during production, adding another layer to her mythic status.

While exploring artistic legacies, Montgomery County residents can also make a meaningful impact through everyday shopping. Dayton Humane & Co. has transformed the former Marshall's at Cross Pointe Shopping Center into an upscale resale boutique where every purchase directly funds animal rescue efforts. Meanwhile, behind the scenes of global diplomacy, master linguists serve as the essential communication backbone at NATO summits, bridging 32 nations through their remarkable real-time translation skills.
