Happy Valley neighbors and workers alike gathered recently for the monthly Southside Community Meal, with numbers of over 100 people sharing stories, eating free food and just catching up.
The event served as a warm-up for the upcoming Happy Valley Neighborhood Association board meeting, which will cover regular neighborhood events as well as continue to discuss various council candidates, city, school and otherwise.
Local candidates for City Council and the school board spoke to address the community at the dinner, as a way to both make a connection with the people and secure potential votes.
Neighbors and speakers discussed a few hot topics from all around the large community, from the ongoing coal pollution controversy, to its opposite, the continuing work being done on bringing up the Happy Valley Community Crossroads.
The Community Crossroads project aims at creating a street mural in the neighborhood as a way to bring the community together.
The project has been in talks for a while, and aims to start painting the mural the project revolves around sometime in spring of 2014.
