Spring is in the air

Picture this: tulips are blooming, Barry White is on the stereo and three independent businesses are joining forces to have couples night out. Well, put the kids to bed and plan this date night now because it's happening on May 2 in Roscoe Village. The Denim Lounge is marking the whole store on sale, Volo is showing up with hors d'oeuvres and G Boutique is coming to give an adult educational seminar. All in efforts to make your spring a little nicer. [Racked Inbox]
