Warren is a good time with a lot going on.  The City of The Week crew went out Saturday for Cruisin’ 53.  We got a lot of cool car pictures plus other slices of the city, and we learned a thing or two.  We also met many cool people and made new friends.  The firefighters from the Warren Fire Department were awesome.  They have great attitudes and love the community that they help protect.  Scroll down to discover more about Warren, things you can do, plus Warren 2023 photo gallery pics including lots of cars from the M53 Cruise! Also, check out our video from after Warren’s 5K race!

I spoke with Dylan Clark from the Warren Economic Development, and they gave me a lot of info on the good things going on in Warren.
