As we sit down to our laptops for the last time in 2022, it’s nice to reflect back on the year behind us and be thankful for all the great stories we were able to write.

From the opening of Bonnet Springs Park to development news, we had fun sharing this wonderful city with you. Thank you for being a reader of LALtoday.

We will be taking a break next week, catching our breath, and spending time with friends and family. Your next regularly scheduled newsletter will hit your inbox on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023. We hope you’re able to step away as well. And if you find yourself with some downtime, here are a few ways to get out there and explore LAL:

Have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year.
