News Around Town: After one day off and a 2-hour delay the next (the worst hit schools remained closed), all CMS schools are back in regular session. The decision to close some schools and delay start for others was an unusual choice for CMS but reflective of the vastly different amounts of accumulated ice and snow within the school system boundary lines.
One Fun Thing: Let’s try this again. The pop-up shop was called off this past Saturday due to snow, and there’s a 50% chance of rain this Saturday, but we’re gonna try despite what the weather people say. Fingers crossed, we’ll be out at The Loyalist with Good Cup Coffee for our (second) second Hyperlocal Holiday Pop Up. Slurp soup inside at The Loyalist, then venture outside to sip a really Good Cup Coffee and stroll the pocket park to shop the handmade-wares of 18 local vendors! See you there, December 15, noon to 3 p.m., 435 North Trade St., Matthews.
