Happy (belated) Earth Day… and Wednesday!
As promised, there are some minor changes down below. You will notice I have removed the playlist section (to make a return in another format one day) with an artists section!
If you know of a local artist, of any kind, that you would like me to share with our readers (it could even be yourself), reach out and we can talk about getting something in an upcoming newsletter.
Now, onto the rest of the day!
If you know, you know.
• We mentioned the expansion recently but Oakwood Pizza is opening that carry-out only location on Wake Forest Road in the old Capital Creations spot — with the limited parking here, this may be an ideal spot for the expanded location — more here.
• Just a reminder that the pop-up market on Maywood that we shared on Monday is EVERY 4th Thursday of the month from 4-8PM, for your calendars sake — more here.
• The Bike Library is looking for more support and they have added some lower cost options to help get them closer to their storefront build-out, check it out below and email them if interested.
