Winter has returned with a snowy vengeance, destroying our dreams of spring that came with last week's warmer days.  But we have you covered and ready to Crush Cabin Fever with Downtown Dodgeball.  Blast away the winter blues when you sign up for the second session of Downtown Dodgeball, which runs March 31 to May 12, when spring will truly have arrived.

You don't want to miss the fun!  Check out a video of some of the teams playing right now.  Then gather up a posse and enroll today; click here for registration information.

We would love to hear what's on your mind.  How about writing a guest blog for Right Now Downtown?  Your post will reach tons of people interested in Cbus, so whether you want to move people toward action or just let us all know what you're thinking, we are opening up a platform just for you.
