“Your vote matters to set a new direction” says working mom contending to represent the Edgewater, Andersonville and Uptown communities on the Chicago City Council

CHICAGO, Jan. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Roxanne Volkmann, aldermanic candidate for Chicago’s 48th Ward, which includes Edgewater, Andersonville and Uptown, is encouraging ward residents and every Chicagoan to vote in the “pivotal” 2023 Chicago municipal election. She invites all to consider Early Voting to ensure they participate.

Roxanne Volkmann is prioritizing public safety, affordability and community revitalization, and is vowing to bring “working mom sensibility” to City budget management. For more, visit Roxannefor48.com.

“The City of Chicago is at a crossroads and this election is pivotal to setting a new direction. Voter turnout was very low in the last municipal election. My campaign is working to increase participation so every voice and group is heard and represented. I invite all Chicagoans to participate in Early Voting, which begins today, five weeks ahead of Election Day,” said Volkmann, a working mom with extensive government experience who would be the first Filipina on the Chicago City Council.

Early voting for the February 28, 2023, Chicago municipal election begins today at two vote centers in downtown Chicago – the Loop Voter Supersite (191 N. Clark) and the Chicago Board of Elections offices (69 W. Washington, 6th Floor). Secured Drop Boxes for completed Vote-by-Mail ballots are also now open and available at these two locations.

Early voting expands to all of Chicago’s 50 wards on Monday, February 13, 2023, and will continue through Election Day on Tuesday, February 28, 2023.

Volkmann, a longtime Edgewater resident, is a government expert on housing, urban development, labor, and fair wages, and is contending for the 48th Ward aldermanic seat vacated by Ald. Harry Osterman. She is making her first run for public office, prompted by her love for the community and deep concerns over crime in Chicago. Her son was robbed at gunpoint last summer.

Roxanne is prioritizing public safety and affordability on cost of living in the City along with plans to revitalize the 48th Ward community and business districts devastated by empty storefronts. She is also vowing to fight for more leadership opportunities and fair pay for women. For more on Roxanne’s plans, visit her campaign website: Roxannefor48.com.

“I am grateful to our election workers. They are the engine of our democracy. Any voter interested in serving as an Election Judge can apply with the Board of Elections,” said Volkmann.

ANAHEIM, Calif., Jan. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/– The Walt Disney Company marks its 100th anniversary in 2023, and the Disneyland Resort will celebrate the milestone with new experiences and entertainment, décor, specialty treats and more throughout the year, beginning Jan. 27, 2023. Disney100 celebrates Disney storytellers, creators and fans around the world who, together, spark the magic and wonder of Disney. This celebration will bring new experiences with beloved Disney characters along with heartwarming new stories to delight guests and audiences around the globe.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and pals debut new platinum looks at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif., in celebration of The Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary, a year-long celebration that kicked off Jan. 27, 2023.

While Disney Parks around the world will commemorate the 100th anniversary, the heart of the celebration is rooted at the Disneyland Resort. The festivities at The Happiest Place on Earth begin on Jan. 27 with the grand opening of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and the debut of all-new nighttime spectaculars by Disney Live Entertainment: “World of Color – ONE” and “Wondrous Journeys.” More magic will arrive throughout 2023, including the return of the “Magic Happens” parade on Feb. 24, reopening of Mickey’s Toontown on March 8 and new developments at the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort coming later this year. Disneyland Resort cast members will be among the first to experience select offerings with special #DisneyCastLife opportunities.

“We are excited to bring this milestone celebration to life right here at The Happiest Place on Earth,” said Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock. “For generations of families and fans around the world who have made Disney a part of their lives, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy all-new experiences with beloved Disney characters, our caring cast and our amazing storytelling throughout the year.”

New attractions and entertainment celebrate Disney stories

All-new experiences debuting on Jan. 27 immerse guests in beloved Disney stories and draw inspiration from the history of The Walt Disney Company.

The all-new, family-friendly attraction Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway makes its Disneyland Park debut. Inside the El CapiTOON Theater in Mickey’s Toontown, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway transports guests into the wacky and unpredictable cartoon world of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, where they board a train engineered by Goofy and embark on a zany, out-of-control adventure with surprising twists and turns.

To experience Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, guests will be required to join the complimentary virtual queue*, which is accessible only via the Disneyland app.** Upon its grand opening, there will not be a standby line for this attraction. The virtual queue enrollment times will be twice daily, at 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. PT. More information on the virtual queue system is available at Disneyland.com. Guests may also get quicker entry to this attraction with the purchase of an individual Lightning Lane arrival window, subject to availability.

“World of Color – ONE” at Disney California Adventure Park celebrates the storytelling legacy started by Walt Disney a century ago, illustrating how a single action, like a drop of water, creates a ripple that can grow into a wave of change. Featuring a new original song, “Start a Wave,” this new nighttime spectacular brings some of the most courageous, loving and inspiring characters to life in new ways. This is the first Disneyland Resort nighttime spectacular to feature characters, music and moments from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, the Avengers and Star Wars in the same production.

Guests will be able to access viewing areas for “World of Color – ONE” through the virtual queue* system available only via the Disneyland app. Distribution for the complimentary virtual queue will begin at noon, daily, subject to availability. More information is available at Disneyland.com. If the virtual queue reaches capacity, guests can check in with a cast member at the Paradise Bay viewing area shortly before “World of Color – ONE” begins for walk-up viewing options. Joining the virtual queue is not required, but it is highly recommended as walk-up viewing options for each performance are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

“Wondrous Journeys” at Disneyland Park features nods to every Walt Disney Animation Studios film over the last century and a new song, “It’s Wondrous.” Filled with artistry, music, storytelling and heart, the nighttime spectacular builds upon the park’s state-of-the-art projection effects to turn Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle, the façade of “it’s a small world” and the Rivers of America into an artist’s canvas. On select nights, “Wondrous Journeys” goes even bigger with the addition of sparkling fireworks.

MagicBand+ builds another dimension of storytelling to “World of Color – ONE” and “Wondrous Journeys,” with dancing lights and vibrations synchronized to both spectaculars.

A new exhibit, The Disney Gallery Presents: Disney 100 Years of Wonder, will be on display at Disneyland Park. Inspired by Walt’s vision for Disneyland to be where his films come to life in the real world, the exhibit pays tribute to Disney films that became Disneyland Resort attractions, park experiences that later inspired Disney films and the rich traditions they both share. Guests will see artwork created by original Disney animators for some of Walt’s early films, alongside artwork concepted by original Disney Imagineers to recreate those stories in the park – in addition to an animator’s desk, a model of a multi-plane camera and more.

Disney100 offerings at The Happiest Place on Earth

Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, Downtown Disney District and the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort will be adorned in platinum-infused décor – including platinum statues and medallions scattered across the resort. Later in 2023, MagicBand+ will interact with and add more dazzle to select décor.

Walt Disney’s original Sleeping Beauty Castle will be dressed in elegant platinum banners and bunting, accented by a magnificent cabochon, two majestic water fountains in the surrounding moat and a wishing star shining on the tower above. At Disneyland Park, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and their pals will don new, sparkling outfits designed to reflect the optimism and creativity that are at the heart of everything Disney.

Guests can savor a century of magic through more than a dozen specialty food and beverage items, such as the platinum trifle and old-fashioned cream soda, and novelties like the Disney100 Mickey Mouse sipper and platinum Mickey Mouse balloon bucket.

Disney fans can also bring the magic home with commemorative Disney100 merchandise and collectibles released throughout the year, including the Disney100 Platinum Celebration Collection, special MagicBand+ designs, collectible medallions and pressed pennies.

The Disney100 celebration extends to the Downtown Disney District with platinum décor, fun photo opportunities and special menu items at select dining locations.

More magic to come in 2023

The “Magic Happens” parade makes its highly anticipated return to Disneyland Park on Feb. 24. Led by Mickey Mouse and his pals, the daytime spectacular celebrates moments of magic from Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios films as they are brought to life with grand-scale floats, artistic costumes and an energetic musical score.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will be joined by additional new experiences and returning favorites when the reimagined Mickey’s Toontown reopens on March 8, 2023. The beloved land will feature more play activities and attractions than ever before, in addition to grassy play spaces for guests of all ages to unwind. Interactive play areas such as CenTOONial Park, Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard and Donald’s Duck Pond create more opportunities for families and young children to play together inside Disneyland Park, and guests will be able to enjoy classics like Mickey’s House, Minnie’s House and Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin once again.

In the spring, guests are invited to experience seasonal offerings and returning fan-favorite events at the Disneyland Resort. Disney California Adventure Park is ringing in the Year of the Rabbit with the Lunar New Year celebration through Feb. 15, and the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival returns March 3 through April 25.

Alongside the Disney100 anniversary celebration, the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort will debut new developments later this year. Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will become Pixar Place Hotel, which weaves the artistry of Pixar into a comfortable, contemporary setting. The Villas at Disneyland Hotel – a new, 344-room tower – will immerse guests in decades of animated classics through a blend of contemporary designs and timeless artworks inspired by Disney Legends.

New Meijer Grocery Stores Open Doors to Fresh, Convenient Retail Experience Today in Southeast Michigan

0
Meijer is a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer that operates 241 supercenters throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin. A privately-owned and family-operated company since 1934, Meijer pioneered the “one-stop shopping” concept and has evolved through the years to include expanded fresh produce and meat departments, as well as pharmacies, comprehensive apparel departments, pet departments, garden centers, toys and electronics.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Meijer opened its first two Meijer Grocery stores in Lake Orion and Macomb Township today, offering Metro Detroit customers a new way to shop the Michigan retailer known for pioneering the one-stop shopping concept.

Meijer opened its first two Meijer Grocery stores in Lake Orion and Macomb Township today, offering Metro Detroit customers a new way to shop the Michigan retailer known for pioneering the one-stop shopping concept.

“As a company, we’ve opened more than 500 supercenters, neighborhood markets and Meijer Express locations, and that feeling of excitement and anticipation as you welcome customers in for the first time never gets old,” Executive Chairman Hank Meijer said. “But opening the doors of these stores feels particularly special because of the unique need they’ll fulfill in our customers’ everyday lives.”

Meijer Grocery is a new type of Meijer store focused on providing a streamlined shopping experience for day-to-day needs. The Meijer Grocery stores feature unique design elements that enhance the shopping experience in terms of both aesthetics and convenience and the format’s size allows Meijer to serve customers in more locations than was possible with only the larger supercenter layout.

The stores’ condensed footprints of 75,000-90,000 square feet offer the food-focused shopping experience the retailer is known for alongside all the most essential categories a customer might need for a quick trip or weekly restock, including:

  • Fresh produce and grocery
  • In-store meat cutters
  • Bakery equipped with in-store cake decorators
  • Full-service deli
  • In-store and drive-thru pharmacy
  • Health & beauty care
  • Baby, pets and household essentials
  • Card & party and floral

Additionally, the stores will feature many of the same convenient, customer-centric solutions Meijer supercenter shoppers have come to count on. For example, both stores feature three checkout methods – staffed lanes, self-checkout and Shop & Scan – to suit every customer’s preference. Meijer Grocery stores also have wide aisles for quick navigation and rear-access coolers that allow team members to refill refrigerated items without crowding the sales floor. Meijer customers can also shop the new stores using the familiar saving and shopping technology they use at the supercenters, including mPerks, Meijer Home Delivery and Pickup.

Meijer Grocery stores also focus on providing an inclusive shopping experience. Each store has a family restroom, equipped with an adult-changing table – a feature also available in several of the retailer’s supercenters – for the added convenience and dignity of customers with disabilities and their caregivers. As in all Meijer stores, both Meijer Grocery locations offer free access to Aira, an app-based service that provides live navigation assistance to blind and low-vision customers using the camera of their smartphones.

“We look forward to seeing these new stores further our mission of enriching lives in the communities we serve, not just by offering convenient shopping solutions and positive economic impact, but also as strong and active community partners,” Meijer President & CEO Rick Keyes said. “When we plan a new store, our relationship with that community begins long before the doors open, and strengthens as we grow.”

Each Meijer Grocery store donated $10,000 to a local nonprofit last week – the Lake Orion store donated to The Village Food Pantry at Woodside Bible Church and the Macomb location supported the Macomb Charitable Foundation. Both expect to make an additional $15,000 in donations in the coming weeks in celebration of their openings.

With the addition of the two new stores, Meijer expands its support of local food pantries through its Simply Give hunger relief program. The program encourages customers to purchase a $10 Simply Give donation card upon checkout. Once purchased, the donation is converted into a Meijer food-only gift card and donated directly to the local food pantry selected by the store. The Lake Orion store is partnering with Woodside Bible Church’s Village Food Pantry while the Macomb Township location will work with Lakepointe Pantry. Meijer will double match all Simply Give card purchases on Saturday, March 4 and Saturday, March 25, effectively tripling customer contributions on those days.

MIAMI, Jan. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Just a few days after announcing the first dates in Spain and achieving “Sold Out” at the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville in just half an hour, Manuel Carrasco announces the first dates of his “Tour Corazón y Flecha” in America.

  • March 15th in Guadalajara, Mexico at the Teatro Diana

  • March 18th in Monterrey at the Pabellón M

In addition, Manuel Carrasco’s success continues as it was recently confirmed that his album “Corazón y Flecha” has reached the top of the Spanish sales charts. It is certainly a very happy stage for the artist, who after achieving the record of attendance for a Spanish artist at a concert during his last tour and selling out his first date in Spain in just half an hour, also received several awards such as the Golden Music Award for his musical career from 40 Principales and the Ondas for the best show for the closing concert of his 2022 tour. Without a doubt, a wonderful start for a tour that promises to exceed expectations, from one of the most beloved artists within and outside of his country.
