Please join us from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. along the 2700 block of N. 14th Street, just south of St. Louis Avenue. In addition to our usual vendors selling fresh fruit and vegetables - some from our very own 13th Street Community Garden just a block away - this week we'll welcome the Contemporary Art Museum "Art Bus" and a "bubble party" brought to us by our friends at the Divoll branch of St. Louis Public Library.  Musical entertainment on the Crown Square corner plaza stage will be provided by the Sojourner Band, and we'll have a face-painter on hand.  So tell the neighbors and bring the kids!  We'll look forward to seeing you at the market!

Join us for the final Old North Walking Club of the season as we head to the Trestle for a picnic!  The Trestle is not yet open to the public, but Great Rivers Greenway is willing to give us a special sneak peek.  Everyone is welcome!  Meet at the Old North St. Louis Restoration Group office, 2700 N. 14th Street, at 2 p.m., and we'll walk together to the Trestle to enjoy complimentary snacks from La Mancha. Representatives from Great Rivers Greenway will be on hand to discuss future plans for the Trestle.
