In an effort to promote new connections and community spirit in the CWE, the Central West End Association has been sponsoring a series of monthly "First Friday Happy Hours" in various venues around the neighborhood. The May event was held at the World Chess Hall of Fame. Next up is Taylor Park, above, where the gathering will occur this Friday, June 1, starting at 5 p.m.
There will be music, complimentary hors d'oeuvres from Cafe Osage at Bowood Farms, and a cash bar. In addition, there will be a brief dedication of Taylor Park. All are invited and welcome to attend this neighborhood event. The intention is to provide an opportunity for neighbors to "meet and greet."
Taylor Park (above and below) is one of two new neighborhood parks made possible as part of the agreement between the City of St. Louis and BJC to lease Hudlin Park to the hospital for future expansion. That deal also provides for annual payments of $2.2 million, to be used exclusively for upkeep of Forest Park.
Happy Hour and Dedication of Taylor Park Friday, June 1, 5 to 7:30, on Taylor between Lindell and Maryland. See you Friday!
