New Year, New Mayor: Week Events Jan 4 – 10th 2016

Happy New Year, readers!

Our Mayor of the city transitions from Nutter to Kenney in a matter of hours, and we’re psyched to ring in the transition along with a few of our new years detox resolutions.

To celebrate a whole new year of possibilities (and mistakes), we’re kicking off the week with events for you.
