The
17th Annual Historic
South
Side Home Tour
Presented by South Side Local Development
Company
June
7, 2008 from 10am-4pm
Your ticket is the key to unlocking some of the most unique
doors in South Side.
This year we have assembled ten of South Side’s most
unique residences and buildings. From distinctly repurposed
lofts and condominiums to beautifully restored homes, each
is a reflection of the owner’s own style and tastes.
These homes tell a story not just through their unique architectural
features but also the personal collections of art, family
heirlooms, memorabilia, and travel treasures housed within.

Initial
Findings of IDA Visit
South
Side Planning Forum hosted the recent visit of representatives
from the International Downtown Association. A panel of experts
in community development and urban centers observed South
Side to get a feel for the issues facing neighborhood residents
and business owners. The process included focus group interviews
with dozens of South Side businesses and leaders, as well
as tours of South Side and surrounding neighborhoods.
The
purpose of this visit was to provide objective feedback on
the issues facing the neighborhood. The expertise of the IDA
panel allows for the business district issues to be incorporated
into this year’s Neighborhood Plan Update and other
community programs.
The
International Downtown Association is a membership organization
dedicated to the development of healthy communities and urban
centers with strong ties between businesses and residents.
A formal report on the panel’s findings will be received
in late fall.
