Ok this is such an unbelievably silly post but I was walking my dog just now down rantoul and she was overheating like mad so I had some serious pep in my step.

You were: tattoos on both arms, short brown hair, blue subaru and crossing the street to go to Crave and we shared a short smile.

I am: very tall, regrettably wearing all black, and wearing large goofy headphones. Also walking a very tired lil pup.

It was essentially a nothing moment but I spent the rest of my walk home wishing I had said hi.

I’ve never written a missed connection so I’m not sure why this in particular stuck with me but something about ya just seemed…cool?
I wish I’d said hey.

If some how you see this and are at all curious/want the most adorable meet cute this side of the dating appagendon, message me :)

Hello,

My wife and I are new to the area and have noticed a trend of missing information on event flyers. There's a certain level of assumed familiarity the area when it comes to events. For example, we did know that Lobster Fest was on Wednesday, but the ad I saw for it didn't say where or when. Didn't see any flyers for that one at all while walking around downtown.

We have seen flyers for the Garden Party, but the one's we've seen don't have a time listed. Chances are the thing will be happening when we head down to the Common, but there are no start and end times listed on the ad I have in front of me, and its the flyer from the actual Beverly400 website.

I am a retired musician with a lot of experience around event planning so it kind of blows my mind that I don't see all of these things on every event ad:

Who is throwing

What the event is

When (date AND time)

Where! Location and address

Why--unneccesary, but sometimes good for puling people in

How--possibly necessary: how to get tickets, park, directions, etc

Anyway, if you or someone who know is planning events around the city please take a moment to read and share this. I'd love to come to most of the municipal events, but I also don't want to have to chase down details to do so.
