Autumn Days ~ 1st edition

Notes from the Neighborhood

The Fed Up Ministries food truck at the NEW Center party. 

Highlights from the past couple weeks: 

• No new seasonal newspaper from the rail advocacy group just yet. The Amtrak station has a few copies of the summer edition though; hopefully the latest will be out soon. 
• The NEW Center (nonprofit workspace) celebrated their 30 year anniversary with a party and dancing. While I remember this location once hosted something called the Art Train, I learned that the whole place used to be a scrapyard.
• I was also reminded that Wheeler Park is named after the first African American mayor of Ann Arbor, Alma Wheeler.
• Fed Up Ministries food truck was onsite at the party at the NEW Center, bringing awareness to the need for food justice.
• The Conscious Cafe continues the Tuesday series at the NEW Center through October.
• Casey's Tavern opened a beer garden on the weekends (Thursday, Friday, Saturday).
• There appears to be another beer garden in development on the other side of the bridge. Oooh, competition, how exciting! Places to go, people to see, beer to imbibe. 

That's all for now, folks. Stay tuned for more updates soon!
