Good morning – it’s Monday, Feb. 19.
It’s Danielle here. We’re taking the Presidents Day holiday at Fresnoland, so you’ll probably find me on a bike ride with my family if the rain stays away. We’re excited to test out the protected bike lanes on Palm.
We’ve revamped Fresnoland Toplines into a daily newsletter, with the day’s headlines coming into your inboxes Monday – Friday. (You’ll still get a special curated rundown of the week every Saturday from our team.)
This newsletter is a work in progress. Like just the headlines? Miss the cheeky banter? Feel free to send me a line with your feedback anytime at danielle@fresnoland.org.
