I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. I hope if you traveled, you had better luck than I did ;) lol. I took the long weekend and went off to Phoenix for a couple days. I've been to Phoenix one other time - many years ago for Spring Training, shortly after the Indians (now Guardians) moved back out there from Florida.

We had a good amount of trouble with our flight out of Cleveland Friday night, but once we made it to Arizona, it was a great quick stay! Two full days. Spent Saturday at the Odysea Aquarium and the Museum of Illusion. Ten on Sunday, we went to the Phoenix Zoo. Then, on Monday afternoon, it was time to come home.

High temperature was 92 on Saturday, 99 on Sunday and about 101 on Monday. There is truth to the dry heat everyone talks about. It was 99 degrees at the zoo, and as long as you stayed hydrated with water and put sunscreen on...you were fine. The shade does SO MUCH there. Cools it down by 10 degrees INSTANTLY. In the evening, at 80-85 degrees, I wanted my hoodie - it felt kinda cool outside. The difference is the air is so dry there compared to here. If it's 95 here, you instantly start sweating just standing still because it's humid. There, 95 is definitely warm/hot, but you have to be doing something in order to sweat.

Now, it's back to work...I guess.

This is one of my favorite weekends of the year! It is of course the unofficial start of Summer, and there is so much to look forward to over the next few months. I enjoy the warmer weather and really, we are just at the beginning!

I hope you have a fun filled weekend with friends and family. Make sure you spend time doing the things you enjoy. 

Have a great long weekend. If you are travelling, be safe and good luck that nothing goes wrong :)

The Nightlight Cinema on High St in Downtown Akron is growing! They are about to celebrate 10 years and just in time, they are adding a 2nd screen!

Not only that, but also being added is a bar and a film library! This is great news for something local right here in our backyard to be able to expand and serve the community even more! The Beacon Journal has all the details spelled out in the article here.

Brothers Osborne will be playing Jacobs Pavilion for their "Might As Well Be Us" tour on June 29th. If you would rather have a more...exotic place to see them, maybe I have an idea.

The brothers will begin 2025 on the road going through the UK and Ireland! They will begin the European leg January 17th in Dublin and finish January 30th in London. They also plan to hit places like Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and more!

If you've needed an excuse to get to the UK, here is a possibility.

With Memorial Day being the unofficial start of Summer, this is the time of year where we REALLY begin to look for ideas to get us out of the house and be active.

The City of Akron has a few ideas for you! Head down to Cascade Plaza downtown and take part in many of the activities being put on by the Downtown Akron Partnership. There is something for just about everyone, so definitely check it out!

Get the full details here.

Once again all this week with the Not So Impossible Question, I will have your chance to win a $25 gift card to Village Discount Outlet.

They have 2 wonderfully convenient locations for you: Waterloo Rd in Akron and State Rd in Cuyahoga Falls.

Listen at 8:15 for the question (hopefully a very easy one for you) and if you are caller #5 with the correct answer at 330-370-2000, you will win! 

Good luck!!!
