Sunday Gazette: February 9, 2025
Hello Riverside, and Happy Sunday!
I'm not sure who you're rooting for today... but as a 49ers fan, I hope both teams lose. Half-time performer Kendrick Lamar gave a shout-out to the Inland Empire last Sunday when dedicating his 'Record of the Year' Grammy win, so we can celebrate his performance with the coincidental alignment of National Pizza Day by hitting Tommy Salami’s in Woodcrest.
We'll see you tomorrow!

A prompt to encourage your practice of creativity this week from Riversider and local author Larry Burns.

This week, we're turning our attention to another everyday object we barely For this week's creative nudge, we're stepping into the realm of shoelaces; they're a funky and flexible thing always close at hand (foot). Few things are more frustrating than an untied shoelace, but you'll want to shake those laces loose for today's creative flex time activity. Consider this your excuse to finally replace those old laces on the shoes you still love. Feel free to look beyond your footwear for today's creative dare – drawstrings, purse strings, or any spaghetti-shaped things will do.
Whether they're the classic fat cotton laces from your oldest sneakers, the neon nylon laces from your hiking boots, or even those silly ones you got as a stocking stuffer, it's time to tie ourselves up in several minutes of creative contemplation.
