Monday Essentials: Propwash Junction, Live Traffic

Hey Patchers, we're bringing back an old Patch feature. A daily Five Things column (Monday's Five Things will be called Monday Essentials) will provide reminders about upcoming events, weather forecasts, community meetings, weekend fun to plan for, lowest gas prices for the week and more. 

If you have an event you'd like us to consider for Five Things, be sure to add it to the events calendar. We check it often!
