For the large cross-section of former theater kids and Swifties - Broadway sings Taylor Swift with Live Orchestra

A beautiful candlelight concert - Queen vs ABBA

For the murder podcast junkies - Mind of a Serial Killer experience

You can also get discounts on gift cards, including for movies at Regal 👀

In neighborhood news:

  • 31st Ave Open Street is organizing a restaurant week with discounts at neighborhood spots, kicking off on Sunday! See the details and menus here
  • Very sadly, the Brass Owl is closing their doors after years as a neighborhood staple and community anchor.
  • Lockwood has a major sale at all 3 locations this week, leading up to their move to a new big headquarters on Broadway.

A little light on events this week, so if you know local businesses, performers, or organizers who should be included next time, send them here to submit!

Cheers,
Stacey
