If you’re looking for even MORE options, we’ve covered some great activities and important news stories across the city in recent episodes: Maybe you’ll want to get into live action role-playing after visiting the Renaissance Festival, or you’re thinking of getting some backyard chickens for summer? What about all the free stuff that comes with your library card? From the concerns surrounding the closure of a 40-year-old homeless encampment to how we can solve our affordable housing crisis, we’ve got everything you need to know to connect with your neighbors this month.
