I'm stoked that there's a new community fitness studio in Woodlawn,

so join me for an evening Momentum dance class to check it out.

The village Ballroom has been a popular spot for

neighborhood gatherings and celebrations since the early 1900s.

Being on the second floor is the perfect place to catch a sunset,

and this place has so much charm with the old wood floors,

Lauren brings so much energy to the class and really easy choreography.

And encourages you to sing along to all the timeless pop songs she plays.

And you'll most likely hear her singing louder than the music itself,

I'm excited now that I have a new plan for my weeknights

and come hang out with us and Lauren under the crystal ball.

The 1905

There's truly nothing better than listening to live jazz

You'll have to check out 1905 Jazz Bar located on

Mississippi Ave to share in all of the goodness.

Tickets are around $25 for a 90 minute show.

While you are seated and listening to some smooth jazz,

you can order from their Italian kitchen,

which has great pasta options like this gemelli

pasta with white cream sauce and sausage.

They also have pizza by the slice and desserts too.

This band was called The Balmer/Radsliff Experience,

It was so great to hear them riff and play off of each other.

There were only about 50 people in the venue,

which makes this a perfectly intimate yet cool option

You also can't go wrong with walking Mississippi

Ave afterwards with tons of options for shopping,

Highly recommend this unique way to spend your next weekend night!

Head to Sunblossom Farm

This is your plan to u-pick at a local urban flower farm.

and it's tucked away inside a neighborhood in Northeast,

making it feel like such a gorgeous hidden gem.

Their u-pick season lasts from around June to early October,

and they also have tons of other offerings

like plenty of events throughout the summer

and also some great ones in the fall and winter like floral wreath making.

One of my favorite things about Sunblossom is their

efforts to make the farm accessible to everyone.

They have a bouquet window where you pay what you can

for a bouquet and the proceeds go to a local charity,

u-pick days, and they host volunteer days where you can swing

by to help out and take home a free bucket of flowers.

I went with a group of friends and we had such a good time just hanging out,

and I really loved getting to see what different

flowers everyone picked and how they arranged them.

though they do recommend bringing your own vase to minimize waste.

There are tons of vases in their gift shop and

a lot of other great locally made goodies as well.

I'll put more info below so you can plan your visit soon!
