Fire seen early Sun (11-23-25) afternoon at 10 story building at San Mateo/Central. Didn’t seem to last long, but still :( read the prev update about that building’s future

Fox Park work

by the city… continues in the kids area! Anyone know when it’s planned to reopen?

work for us… little free library in fox park needs some help, there’s a thread on the fwna_everyone list about that. Also, the marquee sign hanging at Alvarado/Marquette needs some love or to be replaced. Maybe both. Want to help? Swing by our next meeting

Outreach

Walking workshops – Walk the neighborhood, talk, think, work, repeat. I’ll (Nick H) briefly talk about how they’ve been going and future plans at the next neighborhood meeting

Fairgrounds redevelopment

So much to say! Did you make it to the 2nd public input session? Me either! But lots of neighbors did and it can be fun to learn, debate, clarify and coordinate with neighbors.

Next Meeting in Dec

If you want to make the next neighborhood meeting, great! We’re working on it

Dec 5th or Dec 12th 6-8pm are being considered. If you’re interested in coming but can only make one time, please feel free to let us know by contacting the board. Thanks!
