What’s Up in the Neighborhood, February 12 2022

Yep, it’s Valentine’s Day weekend. So as long as you have all your gifts and flowers and candy and jewelry ready … then you’re good to go. And if not … well, there’s always that old adage. “if your heart // is broken in two // mend your heart // with Krazy Glue.”

Don’t laugh. It really works.

That being said, you didn’t come here for my personal homilies and 10-year-old blog posts. You came here for great blog posts and photos from the residents of my personal blogroll. And there’s new posts this week from Amy Biancolli, M.B. Henry and Ed Fritz, among others, so let’s get to it.
