Hosted by the Walkerville BIA

“Friday, July 20th, 2007 from 5:00pm to 10:00pm throughout the Walkerville area which is along Wyandotte St E from Gladstone to Argyle and down Devonshire from Wyandotte to Riverside Dr. There are 36 shops and businesses participating this year - the most we’ve ever had. There will be artists of various mediums set up in each shop/business displaying, performing and/or selling their wares.


It’s a great evening and we usually have between 1000 to 2000 people. If you do not receive an invitation, there are some available in participating locations. On the back of each invitation, there are squares with the names of each participating business. Collect a stamp from each store or business and when the card is full it becomes your ballot to enter to win a weekend getaway to the Stratford Festival which includes a stay at a bed & breakfast and 2 tickets to the festival.”

Venue:

Walkerville Distillery District, Walkerville, Windsor.

City Responds to Tired BIA

Crew Chief Cuts away Iron Grate to Prevent Girdling

Summer students Prepare the Beds and add Fabric for Weed Prevention

The Finished Product complete with pea stone.

A Public Works crew will be busy for the next couple of weeks as they tend to the needs of street trees along Wyandotte street in Old Walkerville (See post - Wakerville BIA District Looking Tired - 2007/06/04). http://themayorofmonmouth.blogspot.com/2007/06/walkerville-bia-district-looking-tired.html They have already started to adjust the grates to prevent further girdling of the trees and they are cleaning them out and adding pea gravel. They actually look pretty good. One might ask why the Public Works Department is taking care of this as opposed to the Parks Department. Probably because they have the tools and skills to cut the iron grates away from the trees. It would be nice to see the Parks Department follow up by replacing the missing and broken trees (hopefully of substantial trunk caliber). This is much needed maintenace for the area. Maybe the hanging flower baskets will re-appear soon as well.

Arugula!...Arugula!

Right now, on a vacant lot on Wyandotte Street you can find a patch of Arugula. The exact location won't be given out here but it is in the heart of the Old Walkerville BIA (Business Improvement Area).

So if your in the mood for some tasty salad fixins you might want to grab a basket and venture off on your own culinary scavenger hunt. One hint. "Out of the ashes comes the new".

Good Luck and Bon appetit!
