| Karen Heyl Chess Suite Installed |
 |
| Chess Table and Bench Seats by Karen Heyl |
|
| |
There is a new look and new vision at the Roselawn Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (ROCURC) Parking Lot and Garden. Working hand in hand with the Roselawn Community Council (RCC), Cincinnati artist Karen Heyl was commissioned to create a limestone chess "suite" that has been installed at the corner of Reading and Section in the garden/parking lot. This handsome, functional sculpture joins new trees and landscaping to enhance this pivotal corner, at the center of the Roselawn business district. Ms. Heyl's sculptures are part of many national collections, including the permanent collection of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in downtown Cincinnati. Once the weather warms, grab your chess pieces, or checkers, and enjoy a game under the shady trees. Click here for more information.

| Magnolia Tree |
|
| Special thanks to everyone who helped with the planting of the new Magnolia tree in the ROCURC Garden parking lot at the corner of Reading and Section Roads. The very large hole was dug by Michael Bourke and Kevin Wade. The tree, acquired at a tremendous discount from Belken's Greenhouse, was then planted by Nancy Sunnenberg and Roy Jones (pictured). We'll all be enjoying this lovely specimen for many years to come. It joins the other 12 trees that were planted in the lot this fall, replenishing the stock that has reached maturity.

| The December 12 Good Guys Loitering event was a big success. Thanks to everyone who turned out to take back the intersection of Reading and Section Roads. Special thanks to the anonymous woman who stopped by with 18 hot chocolates from McDonalds to warm those who participated. Whoever you are, you warmed bodies and hearts! Click HERE for more photos.
