TOGETHER WITH
Post-Memorial Day usually means flip-flops, sunscreen, and questioning if your neighbor has started mowing daily just for sport (we see you Mr. Jeff). But with cooler temps hanging around like they didnât get the seasonal memo, itâs more light jacket than lemonade out there.
Still, the long weekend glow hasnât totally faded, and weâre coasting through the week with that half-summer, half-sweater energy. Letâs dive into whatâs happening around town (no actual pool required... yet).
In todayâs South Side Scoop:
đś Purrs and Barks Camp is open for registrationâcrafts, cuddles, and critter fun for kids 9â14!
đ˝ď¸ Stone Creek Dining is back in Greenwood with a fresh location and Sunday brunch vibes.
đ§ââď¸ From wine + yoga to country bingo, this weekâs calendar is packed with creative ways to unwind.
Letâs get to it!
