Washington Park Wednesdays

Look at this fantastic video shot in Martin Drive. We hear there's one coming of the Washington Park neighborhood! Look for the #washingtonparkneighbors / TankThink / #WasingtonParkWheels video release in December!

#GivingTuesday

Washington Park Wednesdays is all about boosting the community with amazing local talent like Adekola Adedapo. She's raised her family in Martin Drive. She's grown her career and creative spirit right here in our neighborhood. Without artists like her, our little slice on the West Side wouldn't be as colorful. Consider giving $25 to our #givingtuesday fundraiser and we will be one step closer to having Adekola back on our stage in the park.

Thanks to #TankThink & #SilverCityProductions for the media and #BrandonMinga for the sweet ride. We hope to welcome #adekola back soon! Thanks much to @washingtonheightsneighborhoodassocation & Uptown Crossing BID 16 for helping fund this production. #givingtuesday will help us bring back this great production!

Placemaking. What do you know about it?

Calling all revitalization leaders: Help us identify creative placemaking efforts across the country!

We are conducting a national survey to better understand how communities are using arts and culture to transform vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties into community assets. Are you involved with a creative placemaking effort, or know of one happening in your community? Please share it with us by taking our survey – your community could be featured in a national publication!

The survey closes on February 20 – please feel free to share! Your input will ultimately help to shape strategies and policies used by public, private, and community leaders.: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZV3TZ9Z

This past weekend's Fete Ghede Ride & Ancestor Celebration was great hit! Thank you for those who showed up to support and enjoy!

A special thank you to Muneer Bahauddeen, Al Patterson and Family, Ammar Nsoroma, Amaranth Bakery, OnFyah's drummers and dancers, and other friends and family for bringing a food for everyone.

Fete Ghede is the Haitian Vodou Celebration honoring death, life & rebirth that corresponds to All Saints Day. It is a time to acknowledge the Ancestors through feasts and festivities.

Red Bike & Green-Milwaukee ended its season paying tribute to those who have gone before, those yet living, and those yet to be born. They rode throughout the neighborhood visiting memorials and paying tribute with bundles of flowers.

This event was sponsored by the Washington Park Partners Arts & Cultures Committee & the Washington Park NID and hosted by Red Bike & Green-Milwaukee.

What is your definition of home? Imagining America defines it with our Washington Park Neighborhood residents today at UMCS. #imagingamerica2016

Just a glimpse of the first hour of Washington Park's BIG 125th birthday!!! We saw neighbors from all sides of the park and citywide give it huge wraparound support. 300-500 people strong; all in one night of fun. All for community.

This cat has been stuck on the balcony for what neighbors claim to be about five days. Unsure of what to do, no one had called it in. Thanks to Milwaukee Police District Three PO Dolan for finding a ladder and taking it down and for MADACC for showing up on the spot to pick up. Great things will happen during Washington Park Neighborhood Aldermanic Walks. First one for the year. Certainly not the last.

When was the last time you can remember a full line of produce available in walking distance? Here's an exclusive 5 second preview of a new 4500 sq ft Washington Park Neighborhood grocery store "Boulevard Commons Supermarket" Operator/owner Salas says, "I've been in this business since 1985. I'm interested in serving all the moms with a broad range of services including fresh produce and meats. This is not the place to get alcohol and beer. I won't do that. I also won't do single sales cigarettes or swisher sweets." Salas anticipates to open shop 7 days a week from 8am-8pm for the neighborhood by the end of this first quarter.

Skating and pie! Winterfest in Washington Park is Saturday, January 23rd!
