Good article about the possibility of streetcars on Foster – thought I would pass it along…
Streetcar line possible on SE Foster Road, City planners say

Thanks for sharing, Matt. Good read.
I want to join the FoPo parents group on Facebook. Could you tell me how? Thanks!
Here’s one: https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=129127767114129
I feel like there’s another one, not just designed for play groups. I’ll try and find a link for that.
Here it is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/105242022874864/
A big guy on a small bike is roaming the Fo-Po neighborhood. Last week he suprised our estimator Don in the parking lot and showed him his “cool knife” that popped out of what looked like a wrench. He wasn’t really threatening Don, but it was disturbing. Does anyone know him?

Volunteers needed. Saturday March 10th we will be having a volunteer cleaning party from 9-am till 3-pm. We will provide music, coffee and doughnuts for all volunteers. We thank you for all your support, and wish to keep the community together. The Historic Bob White theatre has made great strides in the renovation process and wishes to continue with the communities support.
Can you do a piece on what’s going on in the former se works building?
Thanks!
Yes, indeed. This is something that was already on our radar. I had a feeling people would be taking notice. In short, though, it looks like FoPo will be getting a new dog groomer and an activity space for kids.
Would you do a write up on a newish business? It is A-boy plumbing at about 73rd and Foster. It has a new addition that is selling outdoor plants in the lot to the right. Looks like it is getting to be quite big, as far as plant selection and soil mixes. This was started up last year. A very welcome addition to our hood and a local business to support.
Thank you.
Love this place…we have frequented both aspects of the A-Boy biz, ourselves!
Thanks for the suggestion, Devon. We’re pretty fortunate to have Seven Dees and A-Boy garden center in the neighborhood. It certainly makes gardening a little easier.
We love highlighting our local businesses, and A-Boy fits the frame. Perhaps we’ll include them in one of our weekly profiles. Also, if you’d be interested in writing a review, we’re always taking submissions.
Cheers…and thanks for following.
I noticed someone was forming a running group, so maybe you can mention the neighborhood walking group I’ve created just across Powell in the South Tabor hood. We meet
Wednesdays at 7pm
@ the corner of SE Woodward and SE 66th
We get together to meet peeps in the area, walk and talk, and see what’s going on around us. Sometimes we head to Mt Tabor, sometimes we head down towards Foster. The more the merrier!
