Splash Pad Newsletter Archives

Originally, the Splash Pad Newsletter focused primarily on Splash Pad Park and the Farmers Market which it hosts on Saturday.  Over time, coverage expanded  to include the Grand Lake commercial district and the surrounding residential neighborhoods and eventually (thanks to our anonymous blogger), the commercial strip on Grand Avenue west of 580 up into the […]

Splash Pad Newsletter – September 2014

GRAND AVENUE MERCHANT NEWS Studio Grand has an incredible Calendar of Events on  tap for the month of September.  One of the major highlights will be the Opening Night Reception on September 6th for their  Sung Kim exhibit – their artist in residence for the next three months. The reception on the 6th will conclude […]

Splash Pad Newsletter – August 2014

EDITOR’S NOTE Sadly, the Kwik Way restaurant at 500 Lake Park closed Thursday without any advance warning. I’m not sure of  the circumstances but I’m very sorry for owner Gary Rizzo who put his heart, soul and pocket book into an establishment that played a critical role in revitalizing Lake Park Avenue. According to property […]

Splash Pad Newsletter – July 2014

EDITOR’S NOTE This edition of the Splash Pad Newsletter incorporates two changes.  The publication date is being shifted from the end of any given month to its beginning.  This should better correspond with the calendar-based content but it does mean that an archivist,  in the distant future, may end up looking in vain for the […]

Newsletter – May 2014

EDITOR’S NOTE I took this photo of Holly Schneider at Studio Grand during the First Thursdays event on April 3rd.  A week later, she was diagnosed with a rare, very aggressive cancer and three weeks later, at the age of 42, she passed away. I’d been singing Holly’s praises ever since she burst upon the Grand […]

Splash Pad Newsletter – April 2014

Splash Pad Park In the last couple of newsletters, I’ve been bemoaning the lack of rain and it’s impact on California’s agricultural industry.  Today, I’m in a rather awkward position – complaining that, if it does rain tomorrow morning, the turn-out for our Earth Day celebration will likely be less than we’d anticipated. After much […]

Splash Pad Newsletter – March 2014

EDITOR’S NOTE: Thanks to everyone who purchased raffle tickets and/or t-shirts and thanks, as well, to those who donated prizes. The lucky winner of two premium suite tickets to the Warriors game this Friday is Susan Gill, who, after purchasing three tickets, announced that she never wins anything – to which I can now reply, […]

Splash Pad Newsletter – February 2014

EDITOR’S NOTE: We begin this month’s newsletter with an important commercial announcement.  Last October, in a moment of temporary insanity, I unilaterally ordered 250 t-shirts for Splash Pad’s 10th Anniversary Celebration.  Four months later, we still have about half those unsold along with $1400 in unpaid debt. To hopefully remedy this situation, we’re launching a […]

Splash Pad Newsletter – January 2014

GRAND AVENUE MERCHANT NEWS I confess that I’m a bit chagrined.  After “promising” a butcher shop as one of the Penrose components, I made the same assumption in reporting on the sale of Monkey Forest Road to Richard Weinstein and Charlie Hallowell. As you likely already know, they have since leased the property to Doug […]
