A little more than a decade ago, a movement started in Wealthy Heights to save the homes and buildings from a wrecking-ball fate. Neighbors banded together and worked with South East Economic Development (SEED) to save the Wealthy Theatre from demolition, and it was re-opened in 1998 after a more than $2 million renovation. [...]

On Sunday, June 7th, Uptown is sponsoring a presentation of Noises Off at the Circle Theatre. By the way, why the theaters in Uptown spelled theatre? Anyways, I hear the show is extremely funny. Tickets are $25, and proceeds go to Uptown to help with such events as Trolley Days, Shop Hop, and so on. Tickets are available directly from Urban Pharm, and they are even a tax write-off! Let us know if you want some tickets.

On Wednesday, June 3, the Wealthy St. Business Alliance is throwing a party for asparagus. Amy from Art of the Table was able to get her hands on the rights to show Asparagus: A Stalkumentary at the Wealthy Theatre (again with the spelling). She also worked her magic to get the producer/director to conduct a Q & A session after the film AND (get this) Mrs. Asparagus 1989 and the runner up! Businesses from Wealthy St. and beyond will be on hand with a variety of asparagus dishes, products, and information. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online in advance or at the box office. Proceeds go to the WSBA.

A trip over to the Wealthy St. Viget combined with our planning for painting our building got me thinking about our office’s history. I did a little digging, but could not find much. The current owner, James at American Realty, does not know much about the history. Most of our neighbors are somewhat new to the area and are also without much knowledge of the history. So, I had to put together the story based on records from Kent County and prior sales listings [...]

We’ve had a few days now to let all of the soup digest and to reflect on the soup tasting fundraiser for the Wealthy Street Business Alliance (WSBA). Keep an eye out for the WSBA to release a new website in the coming months. Amy from Art of the Table was kind enough to update the business directory on the website today to tie us over in the meantime. Art of the Table, along with Founders Brewing Company, provided the drinks for the evening to help wash down the deliciousness. The Wealthy St. Bakery stepped up to provide a fine selection of breads to soak up the scrumptious soups [...]

On Saturday, March 21st, Urban Pharm will be joining community members and other businesses in Uptown at the soon-to-be-opened Electric Cheetah for a soup tasting fundraiser. More than a dozen restaurants, individuals, and other companies have signed up to make a soup for the event. Soups will be judged by a “celebrity” guest, and the winner will have their soup on the menu at the Electric Cheetah! Drinks will be provided, and the Wealthy St. Bakery will be donating breads to soak up the soupy goodness [...]
