Title: Better Block Event Coming to Mahoning Avenue In September
Post by: jay on July 28, 2015, 11:11:06 AM
Make your plans to attend this novel event in September.

The Mahoning Avenue Better Block

Mahoning Avenue will come alive with pop-up businesses, outdoor cafes, art galleries, performances, exhibitions, bike lanes, street trees, and/or sidewalk furniture to demonstrate what the street could be, with the goal of catalyzing more permanent improvements in the future that will support and promote local artists and businesses.

OH this is going to be great!  I've seen some of these "pop-up blocks" in other cities.
Can't wait!

Who is doing it/ in charge of it, do you know?

Thanks for sharing the video Jay. This is a good idea. Stay tuned for a major 7th Ward event.

I've seen that video before. After the Mahoning Ave better block event, I'm going to be on Nate Pinkard like white on rice, to bring this to Belmont Ave.
