SUMMARY:Storytelling\, Welcoming\, Gateways
DESCRIPTION:Join your neighbors to develop the story\, branding\, and events that make the neighborhood unique. \nEvery second Tuesday of the month at 4:30 PM at DGRI’s office (29 Pearl St. NW). \nWe’re focusing on telling the stories that make Downtown inviting\, accessible\, and a great place to be.
