Labor Day weekend is coming right up, and we want to help you make the most of it.

TONIGHT

LOCALS ONLY

• A bit of whimsy is headed to Hillsboro Village. The Green Ray will move into the neighborhood in mid-September, bringing books, clothing, fragrances, homewares, and plenty of affordable gifts. Even better, owner Rebecca Moon hopes to preserve some of the neighborhood’s old magic, while Earl Espresso serves drinks, pastries, and grab-and-go bites from a coffee window inside.
