Well, I didnt say much except that I didnt think Fuel was closed.

I actually like where 5 points is going. Riverside is a beautiful neighborhood, and I think having food and shopping options right there is good for downtown and springfield as well. Rather than going to Regency or Avenues, I can keep my money fairly close to my house. 4 miles for groceries is not outrageous. I would prefer 4 blocks, but that will come in time.

no harm, at all DTP. I saw you were the only one giving love to us after Stephen Dare’s metrojax comment on fuel being closed.

Thats cool Adam. Just me being sensitive. I have nothing but love for Riverside. Hell, I spend almost all of my money there! Im just protective of the ‘field. :-)

Public radio listeners might want to check out “Micheal Feldman’s Whad’Ya Know” tommorrow morning, 10:30, at the Florida Theatre.
Public radio is the shizz. If you share my addiction you might like my favorite “This American Life” featuring Jax in a starring role…

We chose First Fridays for the alliterative aspect: First Fridays in Five Points and the Five buck Flick. Also, even as 3 year residents, we had never heard of the First Fridays parties-- granted because of work/school situation we aren't as involved in the neighborhood as we would like to be, but nonetheless that's how it goes. We aren't trying to kill anyone's party or anything, it just worked for us.

I have to admit, it sorta bothers me that Five Points uses “First Friday” We have been First Friday bashs in Springfield for a couple of years now and they are a lot of fun.

Now granted, 5-points is somewhat different with the movies and such, but why pick the same name and time?

Thanks Jennifer! I was hoping to maybe put my son in his stroller and clean up garbage in the vicinity of the garden– wasn’t sure if the post meant garbage clean-up only in the garden, or in the general neighborhood area. Hopefully I can make it by.
