We’ve arrived at Election Day, my friends. If you’ve already voted, you can sit back and (attempt to) relax. If you’re voting today, make sure you have a plan! We’ve got an Election Day FAQ for you, but before we dive into that, I want to talk about our city’s newest park. Warner Woods is officially open, and it’s incredible. From boardwalk strolls to pickleball courts to trailside lounge chairs, it’s a fantastic new addition to our city park system.
