Hey Old Cityzens!

I hope everyone had great weekend and is getting used to the darker days! Enjoy the daylight – and dry weather – while we have it! Although it has been predicted to be a snowier than usual winter. Bust out the snow gear! I was trying to find a joke for this space about winter, but I’m going to have to save it for later when it really gets cold. Until then, if you are cold, just stand in a corner where it’s usually 90 degrees.


Gainz Club — Cancelled
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to cancel Gainz Club through the end of the year, effective immediately. We are working to find a way to bring it back in 2024.
