At Turner Lane, we always know when May has arrived downtown.
The sidewalks feel different.
There’s still a little spring chill in the morning air before the sunshine settles in. The brick and cobblestones glisten from rain showers or early dew. Prom couples start popping up for their photo ops. Date-nighters drift back outside again. People linger longer. Gather more. Window shop slower.
Downtown starts feeling soft again.
And somehow, Mother’s Day weekend always feels like the moment spring fully arrives.
Which means one thing — the carriage rides are coming back. 🌸
