Lincoln Knolls Plaza Comes Alive for Better Block Event


Monday, August 7, 2017

On Saturday,
August 5, the Lincoln Knolls Plaza came alive with vendors, a farmers market,
kids activities, music, dance performances, an art gallery, and haircuts for
kids. 

The event, called the East Side Better
Block, sought to draw positive attention to the plaza, which has a number of
vacant spaces, particularly since departure of the IGA grocery store.  The Better Block events highlight what
underutilized spaces could be like with more businesses and activities.  The goal of the event is to catalyze more
permanent improvements in the future. 
The East Side Better Block was sponsored by the Lincoln Knolls Community
Watch, YNDC, the Northeast Homeowners, and 2nd Ward Councilman TJ Rogers.
