Mugwech--Welcome

Shirley Heyer enjoying the new swings and recreational space at the Cepro entry to the Midtown Greenway, between 10th and 11th avenues.  The structures holding the swings bear the word "welcome" in six languages: English, Braille, Dakota, Ojibwe, Spanish, and Somali.  This is phase one of the project which covers the east side of the block.

Come Oct. 6 at 5:30 pm for an open house celebrating the built section, and try out a swing.
