🚨With all of these nightly WAPA outages, it’s best to be prepared! Instead of sitting in the dark all night wondering when your lights and internet will come back on- light a candle, open up a good book and calm your frustrations with a glass of Italian w**e 😌 🍷 All of which can now be found at The Reading Room in the AH Riise Mall, in between Main St and Waterfront.

*New shipment of rechargeable book lights arriving soon. Trust me, you'll need it.
