Miranda, of "Bloomz" is now in her new location there on S. Audubon & everyone is excitedly waiting for her "Tea Room" to come-on-line.

Irvington Plaza Shopping Center

More "kudos", this time to the management of our Irvington Plaza Shopping Center. Just recntly they contracted with the best paving company here locally to make substantial repairs to the parking lot. They have also placed nice looking trash containers periodically around the center near the stores. "Bravo!"

Irvington U-Haul

Just incase you have not yet noticed, an Irvington institution, ( our local U-Haul at Kitley & Washington) has had a wonderful & artistic face-lift! If you haven't seen it, please take a moment to check it out. "Kudos to the management".

Demise of an Irvington Institution

Many of you may not see it as I do, but recently Irvington lost one of its oldest institutions, The Eastway Tavern. I've never researched which was older, The Butler Inn or the Eastway, they are both longstanding institutions here in Irvington. I'm 65 years old, and I remember that my Dad & his friends spent many happy hours in the Eastway. I recently learned that it has not only closed but that the tenant moved the license too. That means, in all probability, that the Eastway Tavern here in Irvington will never again serve as a public house.

Public Art

Please do check-out the exciting & colorful new mural that members of the Irvington Community High School "Art Club" are painting on the facade of Morales Taller Mechanico at 6101 E. Washington St. Thanks to Ms. Aldridge and her students for this wonderful artistic addition to our Irvington community!
