Sister Souljah
Free Library, 1901 Vine
Lady’s got a new book out. Free Library says: “Sister Souljah’s debut novel, The Coldest Winter Ever, sold over a million copies worldwide and is credited with sparking the urban fiction reading revolution. A community activist who grew up in the Bronx projects, Sister Souljah founded the African Youth Survival Camp for homeless children, organized rallies against police brutality and racially motivated crimes, and served as the Executive Director of Daddy’s House Social Programs, the charitable wing of Bad Boy Entertainment.” 2pm, free.

SUNDAY

Santa’s House at City Hall
City Hall
On top of everything else that City Hall is and isn’t, it is now also a Christmas village where you can go see Santa, and tell him what you want. Since the naughty/nice bar is set so low in our town, it’s probably safe to assume that most requests will be considered. 11am-8pm daily, free.

ONGOING

Try a cafeteria tray on the hills at the St. Joe’s soccer field or head to any number of golf courses if you can make it further out Lancaster Ave.
