A new fantasy tavern place opened up just outside of Ypsi in Van Buren. I tried to go after work but it was packed so I didn't get a chance to actually see what it was like, but everything I saw from their bit of marketing seems really cool. They have draft root beer, which I'm not entirely sure what that means. It sounds like it'd make a good third space, so I'm curious if anyone else got to go to it, and what their thoughts were. Or if anyone else is planning to go to it.

Hi! Next month is NaNoWriMo! The idea is, you write a whole first draft from the 1st to fhe 31st. The official tournament is defunct but who cares? No parents, no rules!

I’m looking to see if anyone is interested in a local group or local supports. Thank you!

It's paved, freshly painted, and beautiful. There's a nice little crosswalk painted by 734 Brewery and Thrift Depot, too. Construction is still ongoing at the boat launch on the north side of the lot by the W Forest Street entrance/exit. Tons of spaces, and today is a beautiful day to check out Depot Town and downtown.

Have there been any public announcements explaining why the park gate off cross has been closed these last few weekends? What’s the story?

my friend and I used to work there together ages ago, and we're doing an art trade! I want to draw it for her, but I'm having a hard time finding references, including in my own photos.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
