July 18, 2023 | Are Citilink buses the future of transit?

Hey Locals,

It's a Barbie world, and there are lots of opportunities to celebrate this week, not to mention Pride festivities and the annual Art on Broadway/Broadway Street Stroll to enjoy! We hope you're ready to party.

On a more newsy note: We have details on the future of Citilink's bus service in Fort Wayne and why it matters. We also learn about an Allen County Jail tax rally today and Mayor Tom Henry's nine-minutes of infamy on (HBO) Max's “Late Night Lockup."

In this week's Local Spotlight, we interview USF's new hip-hop and R&B prof, Brooklyn-based artist, engineer, and educator, Paul "Willie Green" Womack, who will be coming to Fort Wayne for occasional public events.

Don't forget: This month, we're teaming up with Seoul Garden at Union Street Market to bring all paid subscribers to The Local a special BOGO deal, good for anything on the menu. (Buy one, get a second item of equal or lesser value free!) Become a paid subscriber for just $3 this month to claim your offer!

Need another reason to upgrade? Seoul Garden is offering a free order of dumplings to anyone who visits their booth at Union Street Market in July, and uses the QR code there to become a paid subscriber on the spot.

Now, let's get started!
