Local Pulse Top 10 Delivered by The Dog House
Well would ya look at that!
The forever iconic umbrella alley has made its way back to us via Jefferson Alley, and we can’t even begin to describe our excitement.
Moments like this truly bring our little slice of Palafox Street together, and we’re just happy to be along for the ride.
Now that we think of it, this view would look even better with a Ballpark Dog in hand!
Umbrellas are UP and all of your favorites are ON until 3pm right here at Dog House.
