Cherokee ComeUnity Hub: On Pause While. . .
Posted by Lyndsey Scott on May 19, 2009 | 9 Comments
. . . we learn how to get Together.
Incarnate Word Foundation recently decided to retract the $25,000 funding for the Cherokee ComeUnity Hub.
Because IWF prioritizes the importance of building relationships, they want their funding to generate connection and collaboration. While I do believe the Hub process has actively facilitated many new partnerships and deepening relationships here, unfortunately the tension surrounding political resistance to the team’s goals has eclipsed this reality for them. The director of IWF has expressed willingness to revisit the potential for reallocating funding in 2010.

News stories about BPW -> how to crowd out the snark?
Posted by Ben West on May 18, 2009 | 2 Comments
The Benton Park West area has (at least) twice shown up on high-profile Post-Dispatch stories, 1st for the Cinco de Mayo parade and 2nd for a tragic homicide that occurred just last night.
I should first say the events of last night were very tragic, for the victim, for the suspect himself whose violent actions were apparently profoundly out of character, for the police who responded, and for neighbors witnessing. I do truly hope that all receive the support they need.

Pregame: witnessing incredulous neighborhooders intrigued when Cam’s circus wagon showed up at the staging lot first thing in the morning
The hearthump of Roosevelt’s drums during line up
Big friendly giants duck electric lines as
Stitch crowns himself “King”, solemnly waving and his gentle believing
Galen’s true colors barely concealed & evidencing prophetic humanpower transport
Mixtunes crunk cranked by Ben the friendly lekkytinker organgrinder
