But there’s also the NCAA basketball transfer portal opening, the Chucalissa Homecoming Festival coming back after a decade, and celebrations in honor of people and organizations who were key to social change and community advancement. 

Plus, a celebration in honor of those who have helped Midtown stay Midtown. 

Newsletter editor Bianca Phillips is here to talk about it all and get us prepared for the week ahead.
