Valentine History Center:
Opening May 14th : Disciples of Vulcan: Examining the Oregon Hill Community
“Bordered by Cary and Belvidere Streets to the north and east and Oregon Hill Parkway and Hollywood Cemetery to the south and west, Oregon Hill was settled in the 1840s by Irish and Welsh ironworkers and continues to thrive as a tight-knit working class neighborhood. Using images from the History Center photograph collection, the exhibition will trace the development of the neighborhood’s residents, businesses, institutions and preservation challenges.”

Bread & Puppets in Pleasants Park on Sunday
Rumor has it that Bread & Puppet Theater will be gracing us with their presence again this Sunday around 2:30 or so, depending on the weather. There were hoping to do it in Monroe Park, but the March of Dimes are doing an event there, so they are going to try for Pleasants Park.
Spread the word and save me a grassy spot.
