Happy Tuesday!
The weekend has come and gone and another week is ahead of us! Before we get into things today, I need your help.
We are hosting a Murder Mystery Dinner on May 12 and we need to pick a theme! I’ve narrowed it down to 3, and whichever gets the most votes is the theme we will go with!
What should the theme be?
Let’s get to it!

🅿 New Downtown Parking App Promises Real-Time Updates
Finding a parking spot in Downtown Huntsville may soon get a whole lot easier, as city leaders have announced a partnership with ParkZen.
This technology is designed to give drivers real-time updates on available parking in downtown garages and lots. The app will allow you to check how many spaces are available and then navigate directly to those spaces.
Initially, the system will cover six city-owned garages and four outside lots, with possible expansion in the future. The app is expected to roll out this summer!
🍽 British Invasion Dinner Brings Beatles Tribute to Burritt
An unforgettable night of music and cuisine is coming to Burritt on the Mountain on May 1.
The British Invasion Tribute and Pub Dinner will transport guests back to the height of Beatlemania, featuring a live performance from a Fab Four Tribute Act. The evening includes a full buffet of classic British pub fare, along with themed cocktails and immersive entertainment. Guests can even snap photos with historical reenactors!
This experience is part of the America250 celebration and is sure to transport you back in time!
