Foster Area Business Association
By Jeff Lynott
The Foster area will remain active this fall with two recurring events and preparation for a holiday event. Join neighbors on the second Saturday of the month (November 8) for a Foster Street Cleanup; meet at Laurelwood Park from 10 am-12 pm. Register online or just show up with good footwear.
On the fourth Saturday of the month (November 22), learn all about Foster’s history as a streetcar corridor, theater district and more; monthly historic walking tours are led by FABA partner Slabtown Tours. Learn more and register on the FABA website.
During the month of November, too, preparation will be underway for Foster’s annual Cocoa & Caroling event in December. Stay tuned for more details.
