🐝 Weekly Roundup - Issue No. 37

In partnership with

 

☀️ Looks like we made it!

It’s the last week of school in our neck of the woods and whew, just in time. This is Mr. Buzz’s first year as a teacher (2nd career!) and I now understand why teachers “get” the summers off: they need it to recover. If you see a teacher, please give them a squeeze!

As for you guys—you kept me laughing with your comments and responses to last week’s poll. Initially the tally was neck-and-neck but alas, the ‘one page’ event listing option was the winner.

I should have been doing it that way all along… but hey, this letter is a living, breathing work-in-progress. Thank you for your input!

Now let’s get into it, 🐝 cause…

The more you know, the more you go!

HIDDEN GEM: POTATO BARN

Admit it—you’ve driven by a thousand times and never stopped. Same here, until one day my curiosity finally got the best of me.

FOR THE ❤️ OF DOGS (& KITTIES)

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AT BUCKEYE ANIMAL AND KENNEL (“BARK”) | 📸 COURTESY
OF BARK

🐾 Meet Bernadette: This 8-month-old purebred Maine Coon is a gorgeous fluff ball with a regal stare and a heart that just needs a little warming up. She’s a bit shy at first (like all cats 😼), but with some love & affection, she’ll be purring in your lap in no time.

Bernadette does well with other felines but hasn’t yet been introduced to dogs. She’s already spayed, tested, vaccinated, and microchipped. If you’d like to meet this napping queen (who, like me, prefers not to be disturbed mid-snooze; that’s the exact look I get on my face too! 😹), text BARK at 623-826-3085. Her adoption fee is $400.

P.S. My own kitty, Mickey, was a Maine Coon. She lived to be 19! Click here to read more about the breed and their legendary origin tales.

The key to a $1.3T opportunity

A new real estate trend called co-ownership is revolutionizing a $1.3T market. Leading it? Pacaso. Led by former Zillow execs, they already have $110M+ in gross profits with 41% growth last year. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity’s now. Until 5/29, you can invest for just $2.80/share.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.

**All event listings (previously THINGS TO DO and LIVE MUSIC & KARAOKE MIX) have been combined into one hopefully easy-to-navigate spot below! ⤵️ 

THIS & THAT 📌 

  • 🛍️ All Faith Community Services could use your plastic grocery bags. Please consider saving yours and dropping them off. Easy way to support your community and they really need them!

  • 🪩 Did you know there’s a local “Fun Over 50” Facebook Group with over 1,000 members that plan all sorts of F-U-N outings and events? It’s based in Verrado but you can live anywhere! 

  • 🍩 Have you heard of Too Good to Go? Their mission is to fight food waste. You can get discounted goodies from local eateries like Coldwater Coffeehouse & Bakery. The more users there are for the app, the more local restaurants will get involved, which means more deals for us. Spread the word!

  • 🌆 Last night I attended a “State of the City” watch party with Mayor Orsborn. The presentation (click the link) is informative and worth the watch. The segments are titled so you can skip to what interests you. I especially enjoyed the ‘transportation’ section with John Willett (Sr. Traffic Engineer) where he talks about why road projects take ‘so long,’ the process & costs involved, and upcoming projects and timelines. They also discuss the recently-announced improvements to the Jackrabbit/I-10 interchange.
