Thanks
The East Street neighborhood will have a park on 23rd Street, thanks to our late neighbors, Virgil and Marguerite DeLong, and many years of patient pursuit by Community & Economic Development Director Steve Glueck. Thanks, also, to City Council for approving the purchase. It may be a while before the property actually becomes a park. The Parks, Recreation, and Museums Board will need to evaluate the projects currently in their queue and figure out when they’ll do each, as budget permits.

The School of Mines has a concert in the library every other Friday during the regular school year. The performances are always free and open to the public.

It’s called “To Dig or Not to Dig?”

Mines Little Theater will present Dracula tonight (Friday the 10th). Tomorrow night, they will perform Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia, which peers through the lens of literature and science, utilizing time travel, math, and British humor to investigate the nature of life, grouse, and carnal embrace. Co-directed by Jordan Brothers and Daniel Renkert, the production promises ponderous queries, cracks at the literary greats, and investigative mystery. Both plays take place at 7PM at the Mountaineering Center (710 10th St.).
