ICYMI: The building that formerly housed Southern Pines Escape is undergoing a transformation to become Process Cycling, an indoor cycle studio. Kelsey Diesing and Mel Flynn have been cycle instructors since 2018 and recently partnered with cycle enthusiast Ameeta Swaby to open the studio. “Think party on a bike,” says Kelsey. More info in last night’s newsletter or on our website.
It’s never too cold for ice cream, just like you’re never too full for dessert. @handelssouthernpines opens tomorrow, Jan. 9 at noon. The shop makes ice cream fresh daily. Find it at 1784 Old Morganton Rd., Southern Pines near the Lowe’s Foods. The first 100 guests receive free ice cream for a year (must be 18 or older).
