Check out what ideas are stirring for the SOHI District's streetscape.  The alternatives analysis was completed by PDI Graef this summer and the SOHI District Master Plan was completed in 2007.

From serious topics such as crime to development opportunities, the SOHI District blog will cover topics and items that are not covered in our e-newsletter.  It will also be an open forum for frank discussion on all things SOHI.  So please sign up for the blog and I look forward to hearing from you!  A thank you to Donald Kernan for his work on this blog!

Penfield Children's Center employees Michael Jackson, Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen and the "Flower Child" enjoy the holidays in the SOHI District.  For more pictures check out SOHI District's Flickr account.  How did your organization celebrate Halloween?

In the midst of the recession, a streetscape dotted with empty storefronts has become a common sight, but in New York, some retail landlords are filling their vacant storefronts with artists' galleries. These "pop-up galleries" are a win-win, and they are cropping up all over Brooklyn, MSNBC reported.  This is a great online video presentation that could give insight to the SOHI District's blighted condition.  Have some ideas to make this happen please share!
