Let’s Get To Know Each Other
Earlier this year, neighbors from the Central Area informally gathered to dine at local restaurants and walk around the neighborhood. Neighbors had the chance to get to know each other and share neighborhood happenings and histories.
Local restaurants have also appreciated the opportunity to get to know their neighbors, too. Mrs. Thompson of Thompson’s Point of View restaurant, located on Union just east of 23rd, expressed that this type of community visibility and activity offers the very best support for local businesses like hers. She welcomed the opportunity to serve some comfort food to local residents and also invites suggestions regarding favorite comfort food that neighbors might like to see added to her menu.
Hopefully, these get-togethers will resume after the holidays and as the weather improves. They are loosely organized through the Central Area Neighborhood Association list service. Please feel free to join the group. To do so, go to: http://groups.google.com/group/centralna. Suggestions for other activities are also welcome.
