THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING TO WATERLOO:
BRIGHTEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH ARTS COLLINWOOD
A group of Arts Collinwood artists has returned from a lantern-making workshop, at the Cleveland Museum of Art, with four beautiful lanterns and material to make lots more! AC will install the first four along Waterloo Road, and would love to see many more join them.
So, if you've got time -- come to the AC Community Arts Center at 10 am on Saturday (Nov 29). Arts Collinwood will be building more lanterns, getting out some holiday lights, and generally looking for folks to help make the district festive. They’ll bring the coffee and bagels -- you should feel free to bring a friend. Children welcome (there are lantern projects for them, too!)
GUESTS WITH YOU FOR THE WEEKEND? DO A WATERLOO STROLL.

Shore Acres Signage Update
As many of you already know, the proposed Shore Acres Signage project has gone through many stages and modifications in the last year. We ran into trouble with city regulations which would not allow us to do an archway, so the plan evolved into elegant street signs on E. 149, 150, and 151. We are happy to announce that the sign designs are at the manufacturers and will be installed soon - hopefully before the new year. Thanks to Scott Stettin for having the vision to lead the way on this project, also our hard-working board and especially Danielle for creating the gorgeous artwork. We will be looking for neighbors to help install the signs so look for more information here on the blog soon.
