As we've talked about before, 2020 was a pretty crappy year to be a human being, but it was a great year to be a dog or cat. Your humans have been around a lot more than they usually are because of lockdowns and closings, you're getting constant attention, treats, etc.

2020 was a terrible year for the service industry. Life changed as we know it when it comes to bars and restaurants. Locally, so many places have been affected, and even had to close their doors due to the pandemic. The Office Nightclub suffered greatly when the pandemic hit in 2020...

Parents rejoice! Your kids are finally going to have some things to do besides play in the house and tell you they're bored. One of life's greatest gifts to parents is museums. They're great for a number of reasons. They're super educational and can double as a day of class and a fun adventure...
