After almost 30 years, the witches of the Disney halloween classic “Hocus Pocus” have made it back on screen. “Hocus Pocus 2” was released Sept. 30 exclusively on Disney+. The nostalgia factor alone had this ’90s kid so excited to see one of my favorite childhood films finally get its […]

The flickering flameless candles lightened the table top as soft jazz played in the background, while students started to gather together. The baked goods were available and the sign-up sheets began to gain autographs. Strangers sat down and engaged in conversations. This was the vibe at Poetry Night which was […]
