Gonna be a busy day in the Dirty D, so enjoy the community as a whole. Hit the Decatur Craft Beer Festival early, then snag a trolley and head to the Oakwood area for some more live music and art. Come hungry, as all Oakwood restaurants will be open, and ready to feed you...choose from Lock Stock & Barrel, SkyCity GRILL, The Winery, Head West Subs, and University Dogs!!! IT'S BEEN ENTIRELY TOO LONG SINCE THE STREET WAS CLOSED OFF FOR LIVE MUSIC AND ART!!! BE THERE!!!
See you there!!!

Farewell to Danielray Pickrel of Rayzzle Dazzle Neighborhood Cleanup. After over a decade volunteering countless hours to clean up litter in Decatur, he is officially moving out of town. You've probably seen him roller blading around town with a trash picker. Thank you Danielray for your service! Lets follow his example and keep the community clean. 🚯♻️
