Weekend Roundup 5/19
It was a short week for me, much of which I spent doing laundry, it seems. However, now that the weekend returns, what are your plans?
Tonight takes me downtown to Red Door for their weekly Wine Tasting Happy Hour to gab, gossip and (gulp?) … This weekend we travel northwest to Elk County for a quick visit with the in-laws, then it’s back to the grind, researching local happenings just for you.
If you missed my post on Blue Heaven, take a read and then make sure you visit this gourmet burger joint, stat. They serve ’til 11 p.m. every day but Sunday.
Meanwhile, in tomorrow’s column I celebrate American Craft Beer Week with a visit to Al’s of Hampden (finally!).
