The Lighting Of Goodhue Boulevard

On December 24th, 2011, NSNA members and Near South neighbors served the community placing luminarias on Goodhue Boulevard from “A” Street to the Capitol
Building. The lighting was organized by Carmen Maurer, Section 6 Representative.

The beauty of the Near South was certainly enhanced when all of the luminarias graced the Blvd. We would like to thank everyone who helped us on Christmas Eve!
