It’s end of April already, and this is your official reminder that Mother’s Day is in two weeks, on May 10th, Sunday. If you haven’t made plans for your mom (or wife, if you have kids!), time to start getting something booked now.

Anyways, we got a full issue ahead of us, kicking off with Buzzers updates, some local gardening controversy, and a teaser peak at our upcoming event (looking for vendors!).

Let’s get into it.

The Ontario Tower Buzzers have put together a solid couple of games this week, following up their 18–9 win over the San Jose Giants on April 26 with a tighter 4–3 extra-innings win against the Lake Elsinore Storm on April 28.

That second game looked very different, slower, more controlled, and decided late. After being tied 3–3, the Buzzers pushed through in the 10th to close it out. Ching-Hsien Ko helped shift momentum with a late home run, and the team stayed steady enough to finish it from there.

Taken together, it’s a good mix of what the team can look like, one game where the offense opens up, and another where they stay in it and close late, it’s still early, but this kind of stretch usually points to a team getting more comfortable. Looking ahead, there’s also a bit more interest around upcoming games, with left-hander Blake Snell continuing his rehab appearances as part of the rotation.

With a weekend series coming up, fireworks on May 1st, a Derby-themed night on May 2nd, and a Family Sunday on May 3rd, it’s a good opportunity to catch a game and see how that momentum carries into the next few.

Here are some things that happened around us, in 60 seconds or less.

If you’re trying to switch things up, Kailash Parbat is one of those spots that feels a bit more thought-out than your usual casual stop. The space is clean, modern, and just a bit elevated without being intimidating, somewhere you can actually sit for a while instead of feeling rushed in and out.

The menu leans into Indian street food with a more polished feel. The vada pav (spicy potato patty slider) is a solid starting point, with it being soft, layered, and approachable on spice. The pani puri is the most fun to order, crisp with that tangy bite that resets everything between dishes.

If you’re sharing, the Lokhandwala frankie (masala-forward wrap with cooked vegetables) and Amritsari soya chaap (soy chunks marinated in yogurt, spices, and ginger-garlic paste, smoky flavor) bring in those richer, grilled flavors that round things out. The sauces tie it all together, creamy but balanced, especially in the paneer dishes.

It’s slightly above your typical quick bite in price, but it matches the experience. We were blown away by the flavors although the entire experience was vegetation. Overall, a great option for your family, or even hosting bigger dinner parties. (Check out our upcoming IG reel to get a real feel for the experience!)
