New Neighborhood Market

There's a sign in the window on the corner of Jackson and Washington St., where "Susan's on the Square" and "New Chillins" and "Siebert's Drugs" used to be. Announcing the Town Square Market will open September 15.

The market will be managed by Renee Cook, who worked for many years at the old Neighborhood Co-op. Before that, she owned the original Mr. Natural's before it trucked away.

The ABC of Murals

The Keg Capital of Southern Illinois got a facelift recently, well more like some lipstick and eyeliner: Beer Liquor Wine.

Neighborhood Agency Cuts Ribbon

It's official.

After company president Dennis Poshard said a few words about the owners and employees of the Arthur Agency (including "last but not least" CEO Jon Greenstreet -- taking scissors to the ribbon for the photo) this group went outside for this ribbon-cutting photo, while inside about 100 people joined the staff for barbecue and conversation.

The ad agency is located on Jackson St. (next to Global Gourmet) where the Neighborhood Coop used to be. Next door to Global Gourmet and the soon-to-be-open Town Square Market.

Food was served inside by Great Boars of Fire. Posted by Picasa
