Don’t forget! Your neighborhood association is back to having monthly general meetings on the third Tuesday of every month, and the next one is on Tuesday May 19, 2015.

If you’d like to see a particular issue addressed, or want to bring up a topic, let Rachel know via the comment form or the HGBNA Forum email list.

We should hear about the status of the Glenwood Av. median refurbishment project, our Block Party coming up in June, and of course, zoning… so plan to be there. We may have a pilot plan to help those with children attend the meetings, look out for that notice.

Artsplosure (Fri-Sun) and Tour d’Coop (Sat) this weekend!

May 112015
 

There is no shortage of fun this weekend!

2015-Artsplosure-feature

From the Artsplosure site:
2015 marks the first year that the festival is THREE days and has the Art Market and live music stages on Fayetteville Street. Kidsplosure remains on just Saturday and Sunday and is centered in Moore Square. The free festival features dozens of events, such as:

  1. The Art Market with more than 170 visual arts and crafts exhibitors from across North Carolina and the nation [your webmaster knows at least one of our neighbors will be showing his work. An artisan must be very good to be accepted as an exhibitor.]
  2. Kidsplosure, showcasing multiple interactive educational activities and entertainment for children and their parents
  3. Specially-commissioned, large-scale, interactive visual art installations
  4. Aerialists and/or other unique variety performers
  5. The Student Art Exhibition, showcasing two- and three-dimensional artwork of Wake County public and private middle and high school students
  6. Ongoing performances by legends and rising stars from the national and regional Jazz, Blues, and Alternative music scenes, the majority of whom have never appeared in Raleigh, and emerging local and regional performers deserving of wider acclaim

Between Artsplosure and Tour d’Coop, your weekend is booked! And all so close to our neighborhood too.

Popup Sunday! With umbrellas!

Apr 222015
 

PopupSunday-header2015

Something to do since we’ve postponed the Block Party. Cynthia Deis of Ornamentea and Glenwood-Brooklyn mentioned this on NextDoor and since shopping is easier to do in inclement weather than picnicking, consider showing up and saying “Hi!” to the neighbors and have a beer.

Friends- the season for outdoor markets is up us!
Pop-Up Sunday Vintage Market is starting up later this month on April 26th. Held on the 4th Sunday of each month, April – November, this outdoor market has some great vintage vendors with decor, lighting, furniture and more for your home and life. There are also food trucks, vintage vinyl records and, TA DA! BEER! Yes, each month we partner with a local brewery to have a beer you’ll love. All the beer is donated and any money you give for your beer goes directly to a local charity.

Popup Sunday, in the Ornamentea parking lot at West and Johnson.
