Unpaving Paradise, Cafe Metropolitan, Capitol HIll Community Council, The Crescent Lounge and City Market are all co-sponsoring Chill-N-Grill, a block party that happens on East Howell between Olive and Bellevue. In past years, this same event has been called the Olive-Howell Street Block Party. Chill-N-Grill on the Hill is a part of National Night Out to encourage communities to reclaim their streets. I stopped by this block party last year and it was quite fun. Because there is an incline, many have a good view of the bands. This year, music will be provided by Mighty Tiger, Eagle Seagull, Norey, Viva la Villain and The Autumn Electric. There may be other parties on the Hill closer to where you live. We know that neighbors are getting together on 11th Avenue between Harrison and Thomas (thanks Michael Seiwerath for letting us know about it). If you know of a party, please let us know in the comments.


There will be one on E. Republican between Malden and 15th, most likely in front of Angel’s shoe repair shop. I believe there were a lot of flyers posted on telephone poles the last few days inviting folks to come. Both meat and veggie options will be served!
Thanks Jill – pretty close to us – may stop by
According to posters, there’s a potluck shindig closing Broadway between Aloha and Prospect from 6:30 on.
