šØ A Big Announcement
We've got a pretty big announcement, plus its opening weekend for the Trash Pandas and a look ahead at some fun things to do!
Happy Tuesday!
It might be April Foolās, but what Iām about to tell you isnāt a joke.
Over the last month, weāve been hard at work creating our new web app. And weāre finally ready to share it. You can check it out here.
With the app, youāll be able to scroll through upcoming events, discover new places to eat, and more.
Iām still in the early stages of building it, so Iāll be adding new features over the coming weeks. But for now, check it out and let me know what you think.
Oh, and be sure to save it to your home screen (like an app) so you can easily get back to it. There should be a popup that will show you how to do it.
Alrighty, letās get to it!
