LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT: Time to rest after a successful Festival weekend

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT: Time to rest after a successful Festival weekend

By Staff on October 20, 2011

By June Hurt I am pleased to report that Wonder Woman’s run for the LampLighter was an overall success.

I managed to survive the run without any wardrobe malfunctions or major injuries, and most of my dignity remained intact. [...]

Alley improvements

By Staff on October 6, 2011

By Kristan Huntley The alleys in Cooper-Young are a longstanding feature of the community that have served many purposes over the years, from garage access to utility service to walking paths. Currently, most alleys are constricted by overgrowth, impassible, and sometimes viewed as unsafe. All of this is despite quarterly clean up efforts by neighborhood [...]

It is an almost singular type of excitement that one normally reserves for the last day of school or even Christmas Eve. The sensation is not unlike that of a roller coaster ride with the anticipation it brings as [...]
