🍦 Camp, Comfort Food & Cool Weeknight Plans

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 didn’t get the seasonal memo, it’s more light jacket than lemonade out there.

Still, the long weekend glow hasn’t totally faded, and we’re coasting through the week with that half-summer, half-sweater energy. Let’s dive into what’s happening around town (no actual pool required... yet).

In today’s South Side Scoop:

• 🐶 Purrs and Barks Camp is open for registration—crafts, cuddles, and critter fun for kids 9–14!

• 🍽️ Stone Creek Dining is back in Greenwood with a fresh location and Sunday brunch vibes.

• 🧘‍♀️ From wine + yoga to country bingo, this week’s calendar is packed with creative ways to unwind.

Let’s get to it!
