Thanks for your patience during this difficult time for my family. And thank you as well for all the kind messages and encouragement. It’s good to be back. Let’s get into today’s issue of Port City Pulse.

And speaking of returns… so is the Yacht Club — formerly Greenfield Lake Yacht Club. Their grand opening weekend kicks off at the new downtown spot at 127 Princess Street with four days of music, drinks, and good vibes. Friday’s Les Fontanelles show is already running low on tickets, and Sunday’s grand opening party is free with live music all afternoon and evening.
