🍦Survive Friday the 13th with South Side Fun! 🐈‍⬛

TOGETHER WITH

Buckle up—it’s not just any Friday. It’s Friday the 13th, the day when black cats give you side-eye, ladders dare you to walk under them, and even your toast lands butter-side down. But don’t worry! The real danger today is just forgetting where you parked at the grocery store. (Again.)

So grab your lucky socks, avoid stepping on any sidewalk cracks, and dive into this week’s newsletter. Who knows? You might just dodge the spooky and find yourself having the best day ever. 👀👻

Happy (mostly) safe Friday!

In today’s South Side Scoop:

• 🍻 Oktoberfest Fun! Prost at MashCraft Greenwood’s Oktoberfest bash tonight!

• 💃 Dancing with the Stars Franklin’s biggest fundraiser hits the stage this weekend!
