Stevens Square lights, Urban Outfitters closing, a beloved principal's last school year

Posted

We are throwing a Welcome To Summer Party at LynLake Brewery tonight from 5 - 8 p.m. This will be a chance to celebrate with this great, growing community of people that have helped us get off the ground. We'd love to see you there. Bring a friend or two. LynLake has $5 beers tonight and serves up some yummy burgers (veg and carnivore).

As I was walking to the grand opening of Primitiva, I noticed a new sign up on Urban Outfitters' front door. "We'll miss you," it read. The last day to visit the store is June 20. We will have more information on the history of this location later this week.
