Welcome to this week’s guide!

How was your weekend? We had a great one! Enjoyed Christmas in July on Friday thanks to the Carolina Ensemble Theatre. Then we went back in time for the Flashback 1970s event at the Greensboro History Museum on Saturday. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for those recaps.

Oh….if you like acai, be sure to visit Palm Berries off Lawndale. We went for their grand opening. They serve Grade A acai. IYKYK

Speaking of grand openings…the LEGO store in Friendly Center opens this Friday!
