Perhaps you’re in the same state of mind as us and wondering how November came so quick and ended just as soon. It may especially all seem a little hazy to think about after Thanksgiving Day feasting. 🦃 LAL voted, reminisced about all the small businesses we’d be heartbroken over if they ever closed, survived Black Friday, and honored local veterans.

So we did the thinking + pulled all the stories for you so that you wouldn’t have to go searching. Catch up on five reads from this month you may have missed or need a little refresher on.

1️⃣ #AsOne: About the G League | Do you believe in Magic?

2️⃣ Our two cents on tipping in LAL | The rulebook for signing the check

3️⃣ The director’s cut | Instagram accounts that keep local filmmakers inspired

4️⃣ Restaurateur’s picks in Central FL | We’ve got the dish

5️⃣ What’s new with Catapult 3.0? | 3D printers, media rooms + a commissary kitchen

We know you’ve been waiting for this part. So here’s a list of #MustDo events for the month of December. It’s time to calendar invite all your friends as we dive into the rest of this year’s holidays.
