Two big events are making their way to downtown’s riverfront science center. Game-Port- an interactive gaming playground, and NASA’s Chandra X Observatory, will be opening at Sci-Port Discovery Center on Sunday, June 13. Mark that day! Who doesn’t love a great game…and who doesn’t wonder about the mysteries of space? Combining the two will make […]
Thursday, May 27 (weather permitting), downtown’s former B’nai Zion Temple will be seeing some much-needed maintenance that we hope is just the start of much more. The beautiful historic building has been owned for many years by a Trust that spent little on keeping it viable, and later, by a succession of tax purchasers who […]
We are just around the corner from one of downtown’s favorite summer rituals- Mudbug Madness! The post-Covid return promises to be a glorious thing and MM 37 is adding events to make it even more so. First, volunteers. Loads of volunteer opportunities are still available. If you would like to be a part of Mudbug […]

The expansive ground floor is all about creativity and features concrete floors, soaring ceilings, great natural light, a ‘clean room’ with sink and laundry amenities, and […]
It’s a remarkable accomplishment for businesses, especially restaurants, to be able to weather the ups and downs of the economy, changing tastes and constant new competition. The shutdowns and occupancy restrictions caused by Covid-19 did not help, leading to the closures of even long-time, deeper-pocketed chain restaurants across the country. That’s why this birthday is […]
At every first Thursday Artwalk, we host something we call ‘History in 5’. It’s a short talk about a historic building, person, event or place downtown. People seem to love learning more about the amazing history of our city center, which is very much like an onion in that you peel away one skin to […]
