N. Monroe Business Outreach Event (Apr 17)

April 15, 2014 Emerson Garfield

The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Planning group will be holding a business outreach event at CSL Plasma (2126 N. Monroe) on Thursday, April 17 at 7pm.

The event is open to anyone who owns a business or property along or near N. Monroe, primarily those north of the “five corners” intersection with Indiana and NW Boulevard and south of the North Hill. The aim is to inform participants how the planning group arrived at some proposals for improvements to N. Monroe following a nearly two-year effort, and to solicit input from the business and property owners that speaks to their vision for this important corridor.

Light refreshments will be served at the event, which should run no more than 90 minutes. A number of guest speakers will be addressing the benefits of a large-scale revitalization effort, including Councilwoman Candace Mumm, urban planners, and business leaders from the E. Sprague and S. Perry districts.

Korean Food Event (Apr 12)

April 7, 2014 Emerson Garfield

Good news for Asian food fanatics: Spokane Hope Christian Reformed Church (스포켄 소망교회) has switched from a biannual schedule to a monthly event with their Korean food sales! The next one will be on Saturday, April 12 from 11am to 2pm.

If you’re not already aware of where the SHCRC is, don’t worry. Raising awareness about the church is part of the reason why they hold these events. They share a building with Knox Presbyterian Church (806 W Knox), which is where the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market is held during market season. In fact, the SHCRC recently informed us that they’re hoping to have a vendor booth at the market this year.

There’s a bit more on the menu than last month — including kimchi fried rice and bibimbap. Recurring favorites like the potstickers and spicy pork are still there too. As always, all proceeds benefit the SHCRC.

Block Watch Forum (April 3)

March 28, 2014 Emerson Garfield

Spokane C.O.P.S. in partnership with neighborhood councils across Spokane will be hosting a free Block Watch forum on Thursday, April 3. It will be held at All Saints Lutheran Church (314 S Spruce St) and run from 6 to 8pm.

At the forum you’ll learn about the Block Watch program — such as how to start one or where to join an existing one — as well as practical steps you can take to help prevent crime and address graffiti in your neighborhood. It will also put you in touch with other residents in your neighborhood who are interested in doing the same.

Representatives from organizations such as the Spokane Police, the Department of Neighborhood Services and the Department of Corrections will speak about current crime trends and proven prevention methods.
