Great Things on South Grand! (Including free food)

Great Things on South Grand!
(Including free food)

(posted Sept. 6, 2007)

My beautiful South City neighborhood just gets better and better! The 2007 Festival of Nations August 25-26 drew a record crowd of 80,000 visitors to Tower Grove Park! The International Institute did a fantastic job organizing it and the sheer amount of nationalities represented was impressive.

Ever had Ethiopian food? Meskerem Ethiopian Restaurant (3210 S. Grand) will offer a free lunch buffet on Saturday, Sept. 8th from noon to 3 to celebrate their Ethiopian Millennium New Year. They’ll also have traditional African dancers and a speaker on Ethiopian history.

The folks to brought us the successful Tower Grove Farmers’ Market have now opened a store on Morganford near Juniata. Patrick Horine says Local Harvest Grocery offers the stuff you love at Saturday’s market, but all week long. www.localharvestgrocery.com
