Alert from City of Adrian: Road Construction Project

Alert from City of Adrian: Road Construction Project:

City contractors will begin road resurfacing on the outer road today. This project is scheduled for 2-3 days. The project will add a new driving surface from AA to Main Street. Drivers are encouraged to seek an alternate route in and out of town. 

THANK YOU from the Adrian Community Theater

As the curtain falls on our final performance, our hearts are full of gratitude. THANK YOU to everyone who made this production so special—our talented cast and crew, our dedicated volunteers, and of course, you, our amazing audience.

From the first rehearsal to the final bow, this journey has been one to remember. We laughed, we cried, we laughed some more—and we couldn’t have done it without your support.

Bravo to all who helped bring this story to life. Until next time, keep the magic of theater alive in your hearts.

Blue Truck Cafe owners make major announcement

We have some big news to share—Hunter and I have made the incredibly bittersweet decision to list Blue Truck Cafe for sale. What started as a simple dream—just the two of us and a truck that barely ran—grew into something more beautiful than we ever imagined This decision doesn’t come from hardship. In fact, the support we’ve received from this community has been overwhelming in the best way! You've shown up for us, believed in us, and helped us build something we’re so proud of.
We’ve poured everything into this little truck—our time, our hearts, our energy. We've laughed, cried, learned more about espresso than we ever thought possible. In return, it’s given us unforgettable memories, valuable lessons, and friendships we’ll carry with us forever.

As we are planning to move in the next year, we’ve realized that it’s time for a new chapter. The coffee truck doesn’t fit into what’s next for us, and that’s totally okay! We know it’s time to hand over the keys and let someone else write their own coffee-fueled story. And we are beyond excited for them!

Our last day of service will be May 31st. We’re hoping to find a local buyer who can keep Blue Truck Cafe rooted in this amazing community, but it’s listed nationally as well.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you. Thank you for believing in us, for supporting our dream, and for being the best part of Blue Truck Cafe. We’re so grateful we got to share this chapter with you

With a latte love,

Marissa & Hunter

Windy, warm today; two chances of precip this week

 WARMEST DAY of the week today; but after a cool down mid-week, warmer air returns Thursday.

TWO chances for precip this week I'll be watching:

WEDNESDAY: Timing uncertain, could begin mid/late morning, but chances will remain all the way into Wednesday overnight. Not so concerned with severe potential for this one at the moment.

FRIDAY: Toward the afternoon/evening, thunderstorms could fire along a cold front stretching through our area. I'll be watching this one more closely this week for severe weather threat.

(Here's an early look at Friday's Severe Weather Outlook; image 2).
