Mayor’s Message
Hey folks, it’s me. The Mayor of Friendtown. As some of you have no doubt noticed, there’s a big ‘ol Laundromat ready to open very soon! As Mayor of Friendtown, I often get to hear of these things before anyone else. A great privilege, no doubt!
It is my pleasure to inform you that Baba’s Laundromat will be opening to the public in July. You can find out all about what's in store right over here.
That's the word from our sponsors and all we've got time for this week. I’m sure the staff at Buddy’s Bulletin are already hard at work preparing news for our next edition! Just remember, you heard it here first. In the Mayor’s Message by me, the Mayor.
