Proposed Mural Behind 7-11 on Holgate

This past year The Mt. Scott Learning Center received a grant opportunity to work with a local artist on a new mural on the blank wall facing Holgate Boulevard on the backside of the 7-11 building (formerly, Blockbuster).  Joshua Mead, the project coordinator from Mt. Scott Learning Center has been working on this project to see it through. This large blank wall has been tagged numerous times. The hope of a new mural on this wall will hopefully keep it from being hit with graffiti.  
Joshua has been coordinating with the property owner and a local artist on mural designs.  The owner of the building has envisioned a mural with a bridge and flying birds.  These images are just some of what will cover the 980 sq. feet of the wall. The mural must be completed by December 15, 2012.  Permits for the mural are being submitted this week. Joshua is seeking volunteers from the neighborhood who are willing to help with this project.  If you would like to volunteer your efforts please contact Erika Wilson-Palmer at erikatakeabow@gmail.com.

Newsletter Story Submission Deadline

Image
Mt. Scott-Arleta Neighborhood Association Newsletter Story Submission We want to know what's going on in your neighborhood. Do you have news to share? Would you like to see it published on the blog and in our newsletter? Here's how to get the word out... Deadline : Feb 26th (but sooner the better!) EMAIL story/announcement to this email note: Ideally we'd like to include more information in the newsletter, versus a bunch of presentations at our meeting. We hope that this will clear up some room in our agenda, so we can focus on 'getting things done' and getting to know one another on a personal level. (More people receive the newsletter than come to the neighborhood meetings.) Of course we will still have announcements and presentations, but hopefully we can streamline the effort with using the newsletter as an additional tool. And please (!) let me know if you are interested in helping with this communications effort. Thanks, Terah Beth  | visit Mt. Scott...
