Idling cars and trucks not only waste expensive fuel, they also put a lot of pollutants into our air. That’s why the City Council modified a city ordinance to limit vehicle idling times to three minutes, except when in traffic.

On June 25th, neighborhood residents joined ANA in walking their dogs in the northeast parade. You can watch it on MTN Channel 16 — look for our float and the dogs with green bandannas!

MTN’s parade coverage will be broadcast at these times:

Thursday, July 10, 10:00 p.m.
Saturday, July 12, 8:00 p.m.
Thursday, July 17, 10:00 p.m.
Friday, July 25, 10:00 p.m.
Friday, August 1, 10:00 p.m.

This year's murals will adorn the INSIDE of the co-op! The Eastside Food Co-op has always been enthusiastic about showing the work of local artists. Five murals were put up on the outside of the building in 2006. In 2007, three more murals were added.

This year, the Co-op is looking for an artist to paint a much bigger mural for the inside of the store: one mural (roughly 4 feet x 28 feet) to be hung above the frozen food section on the back wall of the store.
