@indydocumenters @mirrorindy Si Greenes pub at E. 10th St. and Emerson Ave will be closing their doors, their last day will be this Saturday the 30th of May. This news personally affected me because I used to play pool and enjoy the Gene Deer Band with a very dear friend about 25 years ago at that bar!

@indydocumenters @mirrorindy Next, the group discussed new and continuing business beginning with NESCO's role in the Quality of Life Plan.

@indydocumenters @mirrorindy Currently, the John Bonner Center has ownership of the Quality of Life Plan, however the NESCO board members would like to be able to contribute and be a part of the plan.

@indydocumenters @mirrorindy Next month the Indianapolis Foundation wants to come talk to NESCO about the conservation of Pogues Run waterway water quality, land use, and community health indicators.
