The Growing City Blog with Lisa & Andrew

 Hello all you sexy vampires!  

We were back in the dirt - digging, jiving and generally working with our community on our muscle tone ;) This space is going to be fantastic! By Spring 2010 this whole parking lot is going to be transformed into a farm - sans cows or sheep.

A Loving Spoonful is a wonderful organization that has been supplying nutritious meals to people living with HIV since 1989.

All the loose change they receive as donations makes a big difference, but it needs to be counted and sorted. That's where we come in!

Growing City's 2009 Gift Guide - Green Gifts that aren't boring!  

The Easide Cultural Crawl is this weekend! Explore artist studios, ask questions and get to know who's reppin the Eastside.

On Friday most venues are open until 10pm, so grab dinner and then go look at beautiful things with other people who are into late night art watching. It's FREE, but remember cash for cultural purchases!

Good enough for Obama, means good enough for us! Check out these awesome portable solar chargers by Solio - definitely on our holiday wish list!!  Charge your Berry, Iphone/Ipod, mobile, or anything that runs off a usb - now my usb powered mini aromatherapy mister need never leave my side.  Finally! [seriously though, these little guys can power almost anything.]

The Squamish Nation and Legacy North Shore hosted Vision Harvest,  a dinner and conference that attracted an amazing group of people concerned with a sustainable North Shore.
