New year, new adventure. 40+ residents braved the cold to join us for a special preview look at the progress with the rehabilitation of the Historical Landmark—Riverview Theater, presented by owner John Childers. We enjoyed healthy snacks and beverages provided by our civic league Social Events committee. We were also joined by Officer Brenton Blakeslee, our Community Resource Officer, who provided the latest crime report
“Porchella is something we look forward to all year as returning porch hosts. I’m amazed at how Christina Fletcher pulls it together year after year, gathering musicians and pairing them with porch hosts. This is an incredible community-building event, one that showcases the character, diversity, and cohesive core of our neighborhood. It’s a win-win-win…for the musicians, the hosts, and the attendees.” – Artemis Stoll
