It’s been a few weeks. Life gets busy, and we lose track, not to mention the cold, which has us all a little stir crazy. But that’s part of what living in the 315 is about! I hope you are all enjoying the heat wave this week.
We’re happy to be back.
Don’t forget to share the newsletter to help it grow. Also, send your events in to get featured. I’m looking for more places in the area to explore.
In today’s newsletter:
Check out events this week while the kids are off.
Lots of great music this weekend.
Red Cross blood drive at the Parkway.
📈 315 Business and Restaurant News
Another major restaurant chain closing hit the Mohawk Valley. Denny’s on Mohawk St. in Herkimer closed its doors this weekend. All employees were offered positions at the Utica location. While we see these classics close, there are plenty of local places to try.
