The West End Kid’s Halloween Parade was a wonderful event. Friends and neighbors met to show off their outfits and to parade around the neighborhood and then everyone was off for trick and treating. Lots of West End houses were decked out for the enjoyment of little goblins. Neighbor William Basie Daye III, a professional D. J., inspired us with music and a light show and the Fun Bike Unicorn Club wowed everyone with their spectacular human powered vehicles. Special thanks to Will Smith- who came up with the idea, Jacquie Smith for organizing the event and Gladis Calderson who took video in hand to record the event. Good old fashioned neighborhood fun! If you missed it… here’s the VIDEO.

Late March News

Author: Lea Barron-Thomas

• Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

It was a stormy night. For those of you who don’t know, W. 7th St. suffered damage from the storm on Saturday night, March 19th. A large tree blew down causing damage to a power pole, several cars and taking out power. Several neighbors and Franco American had no power on Sunday. It was the first time in the bakery’s long history that they were unable to bake bread on schedule. In spite of connecting to a generator, Franco American customers did not get their Monday delivery. The jury is still out on whether March came in like a lion AND out like a lamb.

Renovation, real estate and entertainment

Author: Lea Barron-Thomas

• Friday, January 14th, 2011

A historic restoration! Another West End historic home renewal is happening on the corner of Decker and Dutton. This house has had a long, checkered past- the new owners are carefully renovating this little beauty.

Decker house looking fine!

Recent Home Sales: With the real estate market in flux and a West End landlord who has found it necessary to sell several properties- there’s lots of activity. Yes, there has been “flipping” -homes bought by investors, quickly beautified for resale (often without benefit of permit one suspects ) but the end result may be new West End owners/residents who can enjoy downtown living. Here’s a few recent sales: Nov 28th- 135 W. 7th Street; Dec 12- 225 W. 8th St. $322,000; December 5, 107 Decker $170,000.

Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash- Opens this Friday! 6th Street Playhouse

West End Carolers on video. The weather foiled the plans of the West End Carolers visiting the hood- but this a short video from their performance at the Toad in the Hold. Click here! Boyce Street was treated to another wonderful group of carolers, in spite of the rain. Thanks Paul and Veronica for spreading cheer.

The 1st Annual West End Kids Halloween Day Parade was a big success. The idea came from Will Smith and we’re already looking forward to next one. Kids, dogs and adults paraded around the neighborhood before trick or treating. It was a great time to socialize with neighbors and show off our costumes. Several neighbors went all out with Halloween decorations. We even had a D.J. with a light and music show. On hand for a different type of music was the Corpse Orchestra. For video- click here!

DeTurk Round Barn Update, Videos, Photos

Author: Lea Barron-Thomas

• Tuesday, August 03rd, 2010

The DeTurk Round Barn Project is still moving forward. The Dog park was opened July 16th and the Barn itself was settled back down on it’s new foundation July 19th. At this point, they are continuing to work on the wood framing. The old roof is now being removed in preparation for the new roof. The new sidewalk and corner at Donahue and W. 8th Street is now in progress. The hope is that the project will be finished by the end of October- but this is subject to change due to varied circumstance.

The West End Neighborhood Association is planning a special event in celebration of the finished project. More information as it becomes available.

8-2-10 Barn is getting a new roof

It’s been a busy summer with lots of events and activities. The West End Neighborhood website has videos and photo galleries that highlights many of these great times. Recent Videos include:
