“Livin’ in the Hillside”

Hillfest is a community event held on Sept. 17, from 3 to 7 p.m., followed by a Street Dance from 7 to 10 p.m.. It is a celebration of the people who live and work in the Central Hillside and East Hillside neighborhoods of Duluth, and will feature the following from neighborhood residents and businesses:

Food * Games * Live Music * Art * Crafts * Children’s Activities

The normally busy intersection of Sixth Avenue East and Fourth Street will be closed to automobile traffic during Hillfest. The reason for choosing this location is to unite East and Central Hillside neighbors on the very road that acts as a barrier between the two neighborhoods — Sixth Avenue East. Anybody is welcome to attend Hillfest, and is encouraged to walk, bike, rollerblade, skateboard, or use any other form of non-motorized transportation.

If you would like to get involved, or more information contact Dan at NHS Duluth by phone at (218) 727-8604 ext. 207 or by email at dollhoff @ nhsduluth.org.

On June 9, NHS Duluth, Duluth LISC, and City of Duluth Community Development staff held a revitalization plan review meeting.  At this meeting, we addressed what had happened since the plans in 2007 and 2008 were created, and we started gathering neighborhood priorities for the next three to five years.

The next meeting will focus on the input from the first meeting and go a bit deeper into the specifics and details about neighborhood priorities.  Your input does matter!  The meetings will be held at the Central Hillside Community Center on Thursday, June 30, at 6 PM. Pizza and beverages will be provided.

Other neighborhood meetings will be held as follows:
Morgan Park, Tuesday, June 28, Good Fellowship Center, 6 PM
West Duluth, Thursday, June 23, City Center West, 6 PM
Lincoln Park, Both meetings have been held, more info to follow.
