Walking the streets of downtown Troy today, and I happened to look down. I saw these beauties: someone planted them to make the City look good, to bring a smile to a passerby’s face. And it worked!
Relax, slow down, enjoy life while you can.
So tell me where the flowers are, and be precise. The winner gets to RELAX over a tasty lunch with us— on us.
