Happy New Year!
Although I had many tests — you can’t have a testimony without a test — I would like to thank you for your continuous support of On the town with Toni.
I kicked off my new year celebrating at the gym. I’m not one for resolutions, but I look forward to another year, and hopefully a better me.
Keep your eyes open for upcoming changes in 2018 with Qcitymetro! Meanwhile, get out the town this cold, cold weekend and enjoy yourself.
Here are my weekend picks.
