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!

Irvington Marketplace Growth

Wow, it's amazing how much The Irvington Marketplace has grown since I started in in January. When it started it had about 15 business listings. Now in May we have over 40 Irvington area merchants listed. The Marketplace now has area church listings, civic group listings & even the newly started "Eat Good in Irvington" section. Thanks all for your support! I really do hope you appreciate this effort & shop with our merchants.
