As many of you already know our alley work is now officially completed. While it wasn't as much as we all hoped would be done (or dreamed about like Gessford) it is still a vast improvement over where it was a year ago. And with the nice weather this weekend many of us took advantage and were out back socializing and watching the kids playing together.? ? I?am attaching a couple of photos we took this weekend showing all the fun that was had. ? To officially inaugurate the improvements in the alley as well as the fixing up off 221 and 223 11th st (WOW, who thought that would ever happen!) I thought it would be fun to have a block alley party one weekend afternoon. Block it off from cars and we?could have a potluck with tables set up and food and drinks. I mentioned this to some folks and everyone seemed to like the idea. ? So, I was thinking weather willing we could aim for the end of April.? Would either Saturday, April 30, or Sunday, May 1 work for folks, say 4pm? Let me know what you think and then we can firm this up. ? Thanks! ? Antonia ? ?

Both those dates work for us, so far. Antonia - thanks to both you and Robert for keeping on the city about the alley and the formerly vacant houses. What a difference!

And I should add, as I forgot to, many thanks to all of you who also helped make all these postive developments on our block happen. Wouldn't have succeeded otherwise.

Plus I wanted to officially welcome our two new neighbors -

Kara and Michael in 223 11th st

and

Jonathan, Kristen, Theo, and Henry in 221 11th st.

Great additions to the block!

I hope this party will be a chance for everyone to meet them and each other.
