Thank you to everyone who attended last night’s extravaganza at Union Station to raise money for the revival of the Welcome/Mizpah arch! It was a great time, and an excellent way to experience how Union Station can once again become the thriving hub of Downtown. As a board member of Union Station Advocates, I’m thrilled we were able to have such a great turnout and raise a bunch of cash for a great civic effort. Extra kudos to USA co-chair Dana Crawford for her masterful organization and execution of such a major event, and to my fellow USA board members and the hundreds of volunteers and contributors who made the evening a success.
Joel Warner at Westword has a nice recap of last night’s festivities. Thanks, Joel!
It was great seeing that part of town come alive! It gave me chills to see dozens of people walking down 17th St. toward Union Station dawned in 1920s attire against such an historic backdrop.
So the question remains: Did you guys raise enough money to raise another Mizpah arch?
Let's hope so!
