Discover Lansdowne - LEDC Newsletter #13

This is a special issue of Discover Lansdowne that aims, even more directly than usual, to bring good things in Lansdowne to your attention and to help businesses in our little borough. With both the economy and the holidays in mind, we invited local businesses to concoct special deals for readers of this newsletter, which we're calling Discover Discounts.
