Happy Thursday! How are you holding up?
What a whirlwind this past week has been!
Right after I sent last week’s issue, I headed to a reunion with my friends from Buckeye Civic Institute (“BCI”), where I was asked to use more brain cells than I had available. 😅 You see, BCI members are civic-minded neighbors (and quite literally some of the most incredible humans you’ll ever meet) who work to bridge the gap between our community and The City. As alumni, we’re asked to help find solutions to the real challenges that come with being one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.
From there, I headed over to Safeway to be first in line for the grand opening. (Not really, but the reel was a big hit! 😉)
On Friday, I attended two grand openings: Safeway at 8 AM and Spitz at 2 PM. Saturday, I made a quick trip up to Flagstaff to sell a car. Whew!
Saturday night, Mr. Buzz and I attended the screening of our friend Benjamin Doerksen’s full-length film, Chasing Dust, at Hilltop Theatre in Litchfield Park. We made it by the hair on our chinny chin chins because, holy cow, the traffic was bananas thanks to the freeway closure.
I spent the rest of the weekend reporting on the traffic and trying to keep you informed, because wow, people were angry, and I don’t blame them one bit. The good news: there seems to be much better communication about this weekend’s closure. You’ll find the details in “Word on the Street” below.
Now let’s get into it, 🐝-cause…
The more you know, the more you go!
