Summer is ending? We're just getting started! There are two great community events to enjoy in the next 10 days - the Eagles' Kelly Green Block Party on Fairmount Avenue - Thursday, August 31 - and Second Saturday on Girard Avenue next weekend, September 9. Invite your friends, meet your neighbors, stroll the avenues and enjoy all the great local businesses that make the Art Museum District unique.
We have two announcements! Meredith Ellison has joined Fairmount CDC as our new Community Business Advocate, helping network and support our local business-owners. We're excited for you all to meet Meredith over the next few days and weeks.
