Have you noticed? The historic emergency call boxes on RIA Main Street are getting facelifts! Neighbor and artist Charles Bergen recently won a grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities to restore the 6 fire and police call boxes along the corridor. After working with a DC-based historian, Charles has created designs for each box that will capture important history moments relative to the geographic location of each box. Check out our website (http://www.riamainstreet.org) for the designs he's putting in place. We also check in with Casey from Good Food Markets to hear what's new in the fresh grocery scene this week.
