Join University City as we host our first “Better Block” event at 7301 Olive Boulevard, northwest corner of Olive and Midland Blvd. The City owns 1.6 acres, mostly a grass field with a small vacant building on the site. The Fall Festival – Envisioning a Better Block event will combine family-friendly fun (local entertainment, face painting, pumpkin patch, etc.) with interactive projects to help envision the future use of the property. The City has partnered with Washington University’s Public Practice class to help generate interest by actively engaging participants in building structures and illustrating ideas through art. The event will take place on Thursday, October 2nd from 4:00 to 7:00PM.
