Welcome to the Peapod Café
a new PR restaurant next to
the library!
|
The Peapod Café adds a very
healthy, yummy component to the meal offerings in Pleasant Ridge. Specializing in salads, smoothies, wraps and
teas, the Peapod Café is a very family friendly restaurant/café. Be sure to ask to see the meeting space in
the back!
"SOFT OPENING" We'll be open from 11am to 2pm, Tuesday thru
Saturday, until mid August when we'll begin our normal hours of 11am to 7pm.
Rebecca Weller will be our
first artist to exhibit.
Using a Cincinnati Art
Academy education as her
foundation, Rebecca Weller has spent the last two years studying and working
out of her studio. An exploration of the master's styles and techniques has served well the
development of her unique and evolving style.
A strikingly narrow range
of colors and a painterly hand, combined with a deft combination of thin
glazing and opaque layers of paint, characterize the Asian-inspired paintings
created by Weller. Her exploration of this
foreign culture has led to a profound cultural awareness.
Rebecca's work will be exhibited throughout the cafe.

Meet the City Police Cookout - Otto Armleder
Park August 5 from 6 to
9pm
"On behalf of all the
Officers in Cincinnati Police District Two, I would like to invite you, your
family, neighbors and friends to attend National Night Out in Armleder Park.
The event occurs on Tuesday
night, August 5, 2008, 6-9pm.
National Night Out in Armleder Park offers neighbors, community leaders
and local law enforcement officials an opportunity to meet and discuss
important issues in an environment of family-friendly fun.
Generous community sponsors
make it possible to once again offer free food and beverages with
giveaways-including a school supply kit for the first 500 children (K-8) in
attendance!
This event is a special way
that all of us can connect on a personal level, enjoy a wonderful evening and
discuss important issues that affect us. We especially look forward to meeting
those who are school age and younger, and we have lots of special activities
for them.
The event features live
music, and other entertainment. There will be demonstrations by police units
and community groups. Police dogs, horses, bicycles, motorcycles and other
vehicles will fill the park.
There will be a special
child identity booth. There are also plans for a Cincinnati Fire Department
truck. The Greater Cincinnati Police Museum will provide a special display of
its collection.
Please join me and all the
volunteers in the local celebration of this national event that involved over
35 million people in 2007.
