You have placed a chill in my heart
That chill you feel in the air? It’s the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It’s also the pent-up excitement we all have to get out and get on with the business of life. So shake off those winter blues and let’s kick March to the curb, because this is one winter that I won’t mind seeing relegated to the history books.

Bev’s Birthday Bitchfest
Join the party at 9 p.m. March 29 at Tabu, 200 S. 12th St., as Bev and her friends throw a birthday bash to remember.
