A couple of years ago, I wouldn't have been able to find any non-CIAA tournament week events in the Uptown area during the CIAA Tournament. Times have changed. Whether you're hanging at the breweries in Southend or in the heart of the fun, there's plenty to do this weekend in Uptown, NoDa and beyond. No need to leave town. Find your fun. See you in the streets...
