If you think you’re going to roll into a premium parking spot in front of Fondren Corner this Thursday evening, you’d better get there early. Fondren Unwrapped is Fondren After Five on steroids. This means twice the people, twice the snacks and twice the local arts and goods. Yum. If you’re like me, and your plan is to finally buy holiday gifts before Christmas Eve, Fondren Unwrapped is an ideal opportunity to put a dent in your list. Fondren lights up after dark in a special way, and at Fondren Unwrapped, the shops and galleries seem more magical. It’s also a great way to get to know your neighbors and do some window-shopping if you’re broke.
