I have about 20 great restaurants within a one mile drive. Most closed, but Thai Basil Leaf is open. 0.7 miles away. Just across the street from @thearlingtonhigh school. I got the sweet and sour chicken & steamed dumplings. #supportlocal (at Thai Basil Leaf) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIfrxVuA6B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cake & Prose: A literary event that celebrates local talent. Friday, January 20th at 7 p.m. Featuring: Kayla Olson is the author of two books for young adults with her adult debut (a rom-com, The Reunion) to hit shelves in 2023. Her work has been published in fifteen languages. Kayla will be signing copies of The Reunion at this event. Musical Guest: @jessespradlin is Virginia-born. Texas-grown. This Americana singer-songwriter grew up the fourth of five children, saturated in soulful music and surrounded by family harmony. On her 13th birthday, Jesse received a baby Yamaha guitar from her mother and her Blues-Hall-of-Fame guitarist father. Before even learning a full chord, Jesse wrote her first song. Jesse’s Americana vibe swings from innocent, rainy-day melodies to swampy, soulful powerhouse numbers. Said to be a unique mixture of Bonnie Raitt, Norah Jones, and Alison Krauss, Jesse’s voice and songwriting take your heart and soul on a musical journey. @dtarlington @pantegobooks @uta_bookstore @booktreasurestx @whosebooks (at Create Arlington Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnpayiUOT8A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
