My little app that nicely formats my calendar entries has broken again, so I am pasting text directly from my Google Calendar, with minor formatting.

I guess I didn’t have a “Like” on the page for Stunt Brewing. This new brewer was first noticed seeking permits to open at 1825 Waukegan Rd. This place was previously Boba Club, a spot for Asien focused teas and freezes. They had their soft opening over the past weekend, offer some hazy New England style IPAs. A firm date for business has not yet been announced.
