around. I got a dad joke for you at the
end. It's safe for the kiddos and the
cars. All right, So if you're tired of
(00:22):
the usual lunch rotation, Carrie's getting a new spot.
Mahanna Fresh, it's opening at Parkside Town Commons.
This is a Florida based chain that's about customizable health
bowls. You know, the kind where you
pick this and pick that and pickyour base and pick your protein
(00:42):
and pile on all the toppings andyou actually feel good about
what you're eating. Their grand opening is Saturday,
October 25th from 11:00 in the morning until 9:00 at night.
It's right across from Five Guysin case you're feeling tempted.
So you've got other options out there depending on what kind of
day you're having. But hey, it's always cool to see
(01:05):
new spots coming into town with something a little different on
the menu. And here's a sweet one for the
families. The state Capitol is hosting A
Revolutionary War themed story time on Saturday, November 8th.
Now picture this. You're sitting inside the actual
state capitol building while historians read books about
(01:29):
North Carolina's Revolutionary War history to our little ones.
They're doing 2 sessions, one at11:30 in the morning, another at
12:30 in the afternoon. It's free, it's educational, and
honestly, how often do you get to hang out inside the Capitol?
Well, that's the kind of thing that makes history stick with
(01:50):
kids way more than any textbook ever will.
Oh, before I let you go, here's your dad joke.
I promised my boss said dress for success.
Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.
