, are you enjoying today's weather?

I'm getting all the feels, as the kids say - all the Summer vibes. I'm hanging out in Lindenhurst today and it's about 71 degrees of clear skies and pure sunshine but also with that cool breeze coming off the bay. Howzit where you're at?

Next week is Memorial Day - the unofficial kickoff to the summer, just about the time we get into full gear here with Local Events across Town. We made some changes here at I Love Babylon so I wanted to tell you what's up, and how you can get involved if you want to.
