It was packed. Going to go back to shop tonight or tomorrow. Best line was Cam Gordon calling it a green building--a reference to the environmental impact, not the color -- He didn't realize the pun.

It is open to everyone, and registration is by donation. I'll paste an announcement about it below.

A small group of runners has been meeting every Saturday morning for a run. We welcome new people to join us. Most of us are in our 60's, and not very fast, but there can be subgrouping when appropriate. Younger members could help ensure continuity of the runs. We have been at it for about 13 years. We meet on the West side of the Franklin Av. Bridge and usually make the approximately 3.5 mile loop between Lake St. and Franklin Av. bridges. The runs start promptly at 8:04 a.m. Meet us there, or call Clem Engen at 612-333-7885 for more info.
Happy Holidays to all the neighbors in the forum and yes, I like the snow in the winter. (I also commute via bus and/or foot to the U so don't have to sit in traffic.) Let's all make 2 New Year's Resolutions: 1. Get a neighbor (or business) to subscribe to our forum. (You can even send me their email [after asking them!] and I'll do the heavy lifting.) 2. Post something here! Here's a suggested topic: How can we make this list more viable for the community? What do we want to see here? Peter the Forum Manager
Many of us attended the Seward preview a couple of weeks back and it is a truly impressive store. I urge you to check it out when it opens. And there will be free Wi-Fi!
