Connecting the community to East Side food, transit and social systems and creating a friendlier East 7th Street.
Fire on the Bluff is honored to be part of the East Side food community represented in this year's prestigious Placemaking Residency on Tuesday May 12th. In its 4th year, the Placemaking Residency brings a renowned placemaking leader to the Twin Cities to engage the community around issues of sustainability and collaborative growth of our cities.
This year's theme is Creating Great Cities + Communities through Active Public Spaces and the gathering agenda includes walking tours of Dayton's Bluff to highlight sustainable food, growing local businesses and historic re-development. Lunch will be served at the new East Side Enterprise Center by East Side food establishments including Fire on the Bluff in a pop-up food court. I could not be more excited and, as I said from the top, honored.
Fire on the Bluff chose as its vision: Arts. Community. Pizza. This opportunity represents the confluence of this vision. Look for us at both the luncheon (I'll be in the red jacket sliding delicious wood-fired pies straight to the table) and on the neighborhood walk that follows lunch and will pass by our house which will have a sign describing its place in the tremendously successful 4th Street Preservation Project.
If you miss the event, look for a blog post about my experience -- I promise to reflect here on this site following the Residency. Click the links below for more information about the Residency and the schedule for the East Side events on May 12th.
