September Stoop Night


Eight Streets marks the end of summer with a final Stoop Night.   This Sunday, September 20th.  Join us between 5:00 and 6:30 as the residents of Dwight street hold the final stoop night.   Come out and meet your neighbors.

Our stoop nights are a way to re-connect with your neighbors.  They harken back to the days before we were overworked and perpetually busy with technology.   Residents spent many events on their stoops enjoying the evening and chatting with neighbors and passer-bys.   (For more on our Stoop night resurgence, see our previous blog post.)

We're bringing back the tradition by holding stop nights in the summers.  We take a few nights each summer and focus on one of our neighborhood streets.

The residents of Dwight liked their first stoop night so much they wanted to host one again.   If you live on Dwight street, come out and sit on your stoop and say hi to neighbors.   If you're from our other Eight Streets, walk on over to Dwight and make some new friends!

To kick off the night, we have some host stoops who have promised to be on their stoops to meet and greet.   Look for the stoops with balloons.  Use our host stoops as a starting point for your evening, but don't feel confined by our host stoops - walk the street and say hi to everyone!!  If you'd like to be a host stoop, send an email to Bernard.  

Hope to see you there!

Sunday, September 20th
5:00-6:30pm

No September meeting

Hi everyone, and welcome back after a summer break.

We're going to extend our break a little longer.   We had some trouble getting our room, and then our VP Michael is having back issues and can't chair a meeting.  We will therefore bypass a traditional ESNA meeting for September.

We do, however, till want to get together.    We're looking to have a social event in September.  (Ringgold BBQ on the 20th perhaps?)    If you're interested in helping us set up an event, please let us know.   Many hands make light work.

Our next formal meeting will take place Tuesday, October 13 at out usual Project Place location.


In the meantime, September begins our membership year.   Those who were members last year, we ask that you renew.  And those who have not yet joined, we invite you to join the neighborhood and become part of your community!   Your membership shows you have an interest in your neighborhood and what goes on in your community.   Your dues help support social events and local neighborhood improvements.

Head to our membership page, where you can join/renew on-line with a credit card, or download a PDF membership form you can mail in.


Finally, we have a little history for you.    The Leventhal Map Center  @ the BPL is putting old city atlases on-line for free.    Fine out what Eightstreets looked like in 1883.   (Dwight people click here)
