LTAWACS Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I've never been but do tell us how it goes. How does the city (or whoever is holding this meeting) define "Neartown"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 I've never been but do tell us how it goes. How does the city (or whoever is holding this meeting) define "Neartown"?I'm thinking there is another post about "neartown" (remember all that 'charette' stuff??) but here's what I understand after 4 years worth of attending their meetings---Neartown is the "umbrella " organization of all the civic clubs within area{North Boundary Dallas Ave--East Babgy--South I59--West Shepherd} that meets the 4th Tues at Cherryhurst Community center---7pmThis is from their website---Neartown.orgThe Neartown Association was established in 1963 by a group of dedicated individuals seeking to improve the quality of life in Houston's unique and historic inner-city neighborhoods. Undaunted by the time-consuming community-building process, they were not willing to wait for someone else to save and restore their home front, nestled between downtown Houston and the Houston Medical Center.-- . . . . . . . . soooooooooooooooo it's basically Montrose---I'm not sure why they didn't call it that--it's a good organization to keep up with what's happening in our area. Annise Parker was a former president of Neartown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
