Hi neighbors!

Did anyone else go play in the snow this morning? (Raise your hand if you have a toddler! 🙋🏻‍♀️)

The days are getting shorter & the weather’s getting colder… but I’ve got you covered with fun things to do this weekend and plenty of live music as always!

📰  What’s New?

Ann Arbor is now home to Pizza Cat’s newest location at 640 Packard St. Their motto is “keep pizza weird” and they have 30+ pizzas to show for it along with the option to build your own + GF/DF/Keto options. Pizza Cat also has a full bar, plenty of TVs for game day, live music & a game lounge!
