Change is always upon us – seasons, times, fashions, and opportunities. For me there has been a recent change in employment opportunity, which means that for the CYCA, there is a change in leadership. It’s with sadness that I resign as CYCA President as I move to a new city. It seems like only yesterday [...]

Thank you to everyone who donated items, volunteered, attended, bid, and purchased art at last month’s Art for Art’s Sake Auction. The event was a rousing success with over $13,000 raised to fund maintenance for the Trestle Art as well as other community enhancement projects. We are truly blessed to have such support in CY [...]

This is going to be an exciting month for Cooper-Young! On April 9, from 6–9:30pm at Young Avenue Deli, the CYCA will host the Art for Art’s Sake Auction. It’s a great time to get out, see some friends, have a beer, and get some great local art for a low (unless someone is bidding [...]

I don’t know about you, but I have never been so excited to see the pages of the calendar turn to March. Although this time of the year means windy days, I’m more than happy to have wind versus snow and ice. After a winter like this maybe we should pick up the neighborhood and [...]

The rest of 2010 will be a challenge for the CYCA. Our building at 2298 Young caught fire on September 27. Luckily no one was physically injured in the fire. Nevertheless, the fire changes activities for these final two months of the year. The last quarter of the year is normally a time of rest [...]

During these hot months I walk my dog, Bacon, early in the morning and late at night. The temperatures aren’t that much cooler but at least the sun isn’t bearing down. This early/late schedule isn’t just for my sake. Trust me, Bacon prefers these times too. Extreme temperatures are a good time to remind all [...]

By John Kinsey The Cooper-Young Community Association (CYCA) is not going bankrupt! I make this announcement because it has come to my attention that rumors to the contrary are beginning to surface. However, nothing could be further from the truth. We are led by a strong, dedicated board of directors, and our financial records and [...]

By John Kinsey In June, the CYCA board of directors accepted the resignation of two members: Susan Currier and Kyle Gowen. Kyle led the Safety Committee working with the MPD on National Night Out and on better ways to communicate safety news to CY residents. Susan served on the Membership Committee. We are sad to [...]

I recently met with leaders of other neighborhood associations who, like CY residents, are protected by the officers of the Union Avenue Precinct. Crime and safety were the topics of conversation. The stories shared were very eye-opening for me. One leader described her fear of calling about a drug house down the street because of retribution. Another spoke of how [...]
