Looks like Phil maybe has finally tired himself out. This weeks snow was but just a dusting.

Check out the special showings of Flags of Our Fathers, at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Iwo Jima flag raising! That looks very interesting!

The weekend will also be very lively at the local spots as usual. Make sure to check out our exhaustive listings below!
