Daily Email - Wednesday - 5/6/2026

I could eat cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In college, those dining hall cereal dispensers (and the poor employee refilling them) would hate to see me coming. I just crushed a bowl of Lucky Charms and already have the impending sugar high penciled in my calendar. 

I can’t offer you a fresh bowl, but here’s something with a little more kick: tickets to see Tyler Rich and James Barker Band this weekend. Go win ‘em.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • The Black Owned Bos. Market is back for its 7th season, bringing together local businesses, rotating food vendors and a new theme every month.
