A Few New Updates

Just providing a few quick updates about things related to Old Brooklyn and a few personal projects.

- Our friend Maria Dimengo has a new blog post about her summer in Old Brooklyn. She includes information about an exciting new mural she has been coordinating to be painted on the side of Mr. E's on Pearl Road just south of Memphis Avenue. To lend a hand on the mural and support her diligent efforts to revitalize the neighborhood, please contact Maria at maria.dimengo@case.edu.

- The Old Brooklyn bicycling group is now in full effect, so if you like to ride and are a community stakeholder, please join us. Our new website is http://oldbrooklynbicycling.ning.com/.

- The latest Old Brooklyn News is now available for download on OBCDC's website here. It has a really great article about this year's All Access.

- Speaking of OBCDC, the organization will be hosting a community picnic at the Benjamin Franklin Community Garden at 1905 Spring Road on Thursday, August 20 from 5:30 to 7:30pm. OBCDC will supply hot dogs and burgers (hopefully with vegetarian options!), fixings, and drinks, while attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite side dishes to share. Please RSVP to Cynthia at (216) 459-1000 or cynthia@oldbrooklyn.com by August 17.
