Discovery Green Fall Program
Is anyone else as in love with our newest park as I am? I LIVE across the street from Hermann Park and I’ve never been as excited about their programs as the ones at, as the beloved Fayza calls it, DiscoGreen. 
Check out their new Fall Program here.
And everything is FREE. Gratis. Yep, FREE. ’bout damn time.
