Hello darlings!
Happy May! Campimar has officially kicked off the season by putting their sun-beds out. All things dough opened a new more central location - yum! - and the Tavern reopened. This week, a mixed bag of events await: an Indie concert, Texas BBQ Takeover, Soul fusion & more. Lets jump into it.
And remember:
Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
