1) Walk On Wednesday
MID-MEAC invites you to come take a walk through a neighborhood with someone who knows it and wants to tell you about it. June 17th 5:30 pm
Meet at Allen St Market (corner of Kalamazoo and Allen St) for a walk with Joan Nelson through the dynamic East Side neighborhood . Sounds like fun! We’ll start at the Market, see some of the renovation activity in the neighborhood, walk a circuit on the wonderful Hunter Park Path and tour the Hunter Park GardenHouse. We’ll have a cooler for you to store your market purchases in during the walk.
No rain dates—bring an umbrella.
