May 1: Rain, Brunch, Chat, Cancelled, Eggs

Rain: So much for April showers just being in April, eh? May starts out with wet weather, according to the JohnstonPatch WeatherBug forecast. Highs in the 50s with near-100 percent chance of rain during the day. Tapering off to drizzle tomorrow.

Brunch: Mother's Day is just under two weeks away, and JohnstonPatch is looking for your vote in our poll on the best place in Johnston for Mother's Day brunch. Know a place? Have a place? Cast your vote and post your comments.

Chat: On May 9, JohnstonPatch will host a live chat with Mayor Joseph Polisena — and you're invited to participate. Send questions via email to joseph.hutnak@patch.com — and make sure to check back on May 9.

Cancelled: Just in case you had a matter scheduled to go before the Johnston Planning Board tonight, their meeting has been cancelled. Next meeting is set for June 5.

Eggs: Okay, so Easter is a couple of weeks past — what can you do with those plastic eggs? Check out this column by Johanna Corcoran for ideas.
