Maybe you've heard the roar of engines in the distance this past week. And if it wasn't that, it was noise rising up and off of the city's main thoroughfares filling up with music, dance, and dialogue: The weekend, specifically this weekend.
Even if rain come down on the city all weekend (and who knows, things can change), the energy coursing through the streets of the city will be palpable this weekend as though a switch were flipped: Grand Prix, MURAL Fest, arts and theatre, late nights full of glowing lights, and that's just the biggest of the weekend's highlights; we're willing to bet money that you'd be hard-pressed to go anywhere in this city without seeing or hearing of something that's contributing to a great big common thrum.
