The weather is finally cooperating, patios are calling, and there are plenty of reasons to get out of the house this weekend.
We've got new restaurants opening, a couple of familiar names making headlines, and some fun things happening around the neighborhood. From food trucks and farmers markets to live music and a little birdwatching along Skunk Creek, there's something for just about everyone.
Enjoy your weekend, and thanks for reading!

COMMUNITY NEWS
No worries, the Bloomin’ Onion isn't going anywhere! Outback Steakhouse's largest franchisee has filed for bankruptcy, and the Bell Road location in Glendale is among the restaurants affected. The good news? The restaurant will remain open and continue serving customers while the company works through the bankruptcy process. (link)

Bed Bath & Beyond is teaming up with The Container Store! The 75th Ave & Bell Road location is bringing together home essentials and organizational solutions, giving Arrowhead shoppers even more options for getting their homes in order.

Target Hair Thinning Where it Begins—at the Cellular Level
There are many products for hair thinning on the market, but they don’t all deliver on their promises. OneSkin’s OS-01 HAIR SCALP SERUM is backed by clinically validated longevity science, and proven to improve thickness and density with consistent use.
Treatments like DHT blockers address pattern thinning, and minoxidil increases blood flow to the scalp. But OS-01 HAIR is the only scalp formula to specifically address the dysfunctional senescent cells behind age-related hair thinning.
Powered by OneSkin’s proprietary OS-01 Peptide™, OS-01 HAIR SCALP SERUM targets the spread of senescent cells at the scalp, creating the optimal conditions for visibly fuller, healthier-looking hair.
Address hair thinning where it begins. Make OneSkin’s OS-01 HAIR part of your longevity stack, and optimize your hair health routine.

BIRDS OF ARROWHEAD
We are lucky to have a local resident, Bruce Donaldson, who is a wonderful photographer and shares his work to the Everything Arrowhead Facebook Group most days. Thanks to him, I have begun to learn what a wide variety of interesting birds call Arrowhead home, and visit during different parts of the year.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who would love to learn more about the birds in his photos, so Bruce has graciously agreed to help educate us all!! Keep an eye out for more ‘Birds of Arrowhead’ in future newsletters.
