Happy Friday, IE! It's morning, the coffee is kicking in, and you've got a full weekend of things to do standing between you and Monday. Before you dive in, a quick preview: a Highland pho spot that's been flying under the radar way too long, a hometown moment for Fuerza Regida that actually made 1,500 students' day, and an events lineup running Friday through Sunday so packed you might need to pick favorites. Grab your calendar, maybe a second coffee, and let's get into it.
