Buzz about the neighborhood?

Did you see this bee-covered parking meter on Fifth Avenue north of Brookes? Thanks to our friends at The Loft for giving us the head’s up. But the BIG BuZzzzz is Hillcrest Mardi Gras…this year’s annual Fat Tuesday celebration will be held rain or shine (February 28th) on University between Third and Fourth avenues. This year they’re even having a ferris wheel! Buy your tickets early at Hamburger Mary’s, Obelisk Bookstore, Column One or Ono Sushi for only $15. Or pay five more bucks at the gate. Pre-parties abound, too!
