“This past weekend marked a particularly significant moment for the East Alley Project, and that is the installation of the archway and sign. It now displays its name, and as much as we have used the name previously, it’s now for all to see. No single step of this project has done more in the way of placemaking than installing the sign. It really feels different now that it is in place.”

TRiM leaders Mike Curtis and Lisa DeVine recently installed new artwork to a signboard over one of the storefronts belonging to Lowry’s Books and More. The panel features a row of colorful bookends in relief, designed to look like a full bookshelf.
The popcorn stand next to the Spring Street entrance to Scidmore Park is open and serving after a group of volunteers spent several weeks repairing, restoring, and repainting it.
A small group of volunteers met on Monday morning in Scidmore Park to discuss work on the park’s venerable popcorn stand. Jerry Barkley, owner of the Kelsey Block Brewing Company, joined Mike Curtis and Lisa DeVine of Three Rivers Improvement Movement (TRIM) to begin repairs in preparation for the summer season.
