That title, dear friends, is putting a smile on this past week with a look forward to the days to come.
In truth, however, the last week alone have had us dabbing every corner of our Crazy Week bingo card: Lithium battery fires in HoMa, the whole saga with La Tulipe potentially shutting down alongside restaurants also getting threatened with closures over noise, the 2024 Presidents Cup teeing off (and $25k of related merch being stolen), NWA co-founder Arabian Prince played the opening of POP Montreal while Spike Lee was speaking at l’Olympia last night.
But you take the bad with the good: It's sweater weather. A lot of cool stuff is happening. People are making the most of it, and the Power of Community™ is making the usual Kafkaesque quagmire of issues our city faces on the daily just a *little*, teensy bit better.
