I spent most of the 4th at the Intermedia Arts/Midtown Community Works "Greenway Parade of Arts". The 7th annual "Wheels as Art" parade was a highlight. The parade route ran from Lyndale Ave. east to 5th Ave. along Lake St. I live at Lake St. and 3rd Ave. This was especially exciting for me. It is the first event I can remember in my 19 years in Phillips that straddled East and West Lake St. I call that progress. Thanks Intermedia Arts and Midtown Community Works! I hope we can do it again next year. The Midtown Greenway was FULL of walkers, bikers, skaters and other non-motorized types. My guess is that many of the attendees don't often get down to the Phillips part of the Greenway. It was great seeing such an interesting crowd and vital cultural event happening in what used to be a nearly empty rail corridor. Kudos to the Whittier Alliance volunteers who were among the most active signature gatherers for the NRP referendum petition. Volunteers were hard at work throughout the event. Good work! Keep it up. The next step in signature gathering is a door-knocking effort this weekend. A meeting of the Minneapolis United Neighborhood Council - the politcal action committee formed to promote this referendum - will be held today at 6pm at Powderhorn Park. Yours, Robert Lilligren Candidate for City Council Ward 8, Phillips West www.VoteRobert.com _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - Minnesota E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
