Workers make progress on one of several homes in the Fountain Heights neighborhood where construction began on infill housing last year. The homes are being constructed in the Northern Triangle area of the neighborhood as part of a HOPE VI development. The award-winning revitalization plan for Fountain Heights was the focus of last month’s ONB Breakfast Briefing.

NOTE: Hear their answers to your questions on our Election ’07 site!
We wanted to let you know what was going on with our proposed interviews with the mayoral candidates. We have currently received commitments from Valerie Abbott, Patrick Cooper and Carole Smitherman to participate in our podcast interviews. We have also been contacted by representatives from Mayor Kincaid’s campaign, though we have not been able to secure a commitment from him as of yet. It is our intention to begin posting their answers to your questions on our election site this coming Friday, September 14. We will have answers being posted by Monday, September 17.
If you’d like your candidate to participate, you may want to contact them and encourage them to do so.

It’s been over for a couple of days now, but there’s still a great deal of buzz about this year’s Artwalk. Early reports have total artists sales double that from last year.
We wanted to hear what you thought about this year’s festival, so we sent out a street team (with our new t-shirts on of course), asked for your thoughts and brought these back to share with you.
Well, we promised you that you’d be able to buy our first ever t-shirt beginning this morning… and here it is!
Using the phrase from a popular 1961 image campaign, the shirt also sports our logo on the back. Clicking here or on the image of the shirt will get you started with the process, thanks to the guys over at GoodStorm.

While you won’t necessarily see this really cool festival staple today, you will get a chance to see (& get) some great art at this year’s Artwalk festival, going on until 6 p.m. Those that are wanting a taste of the festival, head on over to Timetable to see some images from last night.
For those of you a little hungry, there’s also the National Soul Food Cook-Off taking place at Boutwell Auditorium this afternoon.
The quotes go up tomorrow morning and the t-shirts go on sale Monday!
