New Garfield Park Neighborhood Association Events!

Please take a look at these great new events forwarded to us by the Garfield Park Neighborhood Association!

Upcoming Events
1/29/2014 at 7 pm at the Garfield Park Neighborhood Association (GPNA) Lodge
Many of you have noticed, and eaten at, the new Popeye's restaurant on Division just North of Burton.  Recently Mr. Jay Kim, the owner of the old Popeye’s restaurant, reached out to GPNA to get some input from the neighborhood.  We offered to set up a forum to discuss what you want to see in your neighborhood, and so we've scheduled a meeting for next Wednesday (Jan 29) at 7 pm at the GPNA Lodge.

Mr. Kim is considering everything from a party store to a coffee shop, but he needs to know what the neighbors want, and more importantly, where you will spend your money.
