Art Crawl

Most condos and apartments in downtown have some communal area where residents can post events, services, business cards, etc. Someone may have a service to help you with your taxes or computer problems. Need a parking space or your dog walked? Leave a note on the message board. I enjoy looking at what people have for sale, things they can't take with them on the next move. Sometimes you see an old TV for sale. I wonder if anyone ever sells those. Best Buy on Robert Street will recycle it for a $10 charge, but they give you a gift card for the same. Seems like a good deal to me to just take it off your hands. The bulletin board in my building has a poster for the art crawl in Lowertown. In addition to the larger art crawls that take place in April and October a few buildings also have one on the first Friday of each month. That coincides nicely with the downtown community happy hour that also takes place on the first Friday of every month (4 to 6pm). It is hosted by the Capitol River Council and there are usually 40 to 50 folks who show up. Get on their email list at www.capitolrivercouncil.org to find out what bar is hosting the February event.
