Issue #7: A Shoebox of Bees and a Real-Life Indiana Jones

Good morning, West Siders. 🌧️ We're the neighbor who saw the forecast, grabbed your umbrella, and still thinks Saturday's the only day that matters this weekend. 👋 Welcome back to Issue #7. If you're new, someone sent you here because they like you. If you've been here since Issue #1, you're my BFF. P.S. Scroll for a real-life Indiana Jones, an epic 4 hour hike through Central Park, and 1996 called and it's holding your drink.

Issue #4: Snow in Spring, Lions on Fire

Good morning, West Siders. We're the neighbor who knows your playground is up for a national award, your basketball team is on a tear, and spring just showed up on 89th Street. Welcome back to Issue #4. If you're new here, someone forwarded this to you and they were right to. We've tripled in three weeks. No ads, no algorithm, just neighbors. Let's go. P.S. Scroll to Something to Chew On. Your playground needs your vote.🕯️ Next Wednesday evening is the first night of Passover. Chag Sameach to those who celebrate!
