Thanks to everyone for coming out to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of HRA!
The Civic Association hosted a party at the HRA Pool on Sept 17th, open to all residents. Over 200 neighbors and friends came out, including original settlers and newcomers of less than 12 hours. Honestly, it was pretty magical. The highlight was the HRA Mixtape featuring live performances from our resident musicians. Please give them some love by attending an upcoming show, following them on social media, streaming their tracks on loop on Spotify, etc:

Ice Cream Social - July 4, 2018
It was an unbelievably hot day, but there was a great turnout and all enjoyed celebrating the holiday with the neighborhood. So much fun cooling down with popsicles and running through sprinklers!
