Neighbor Michael dialed in to the Bernalwood Hotline to share news about a grand block party that will take place on Elsie this Saturday:
The 200 block of Elsie Street, between Cortland & Eugenia, invites you to its 5th Annual Block Party on Saturday, Sept. 24 from 11:30am to 3:30pm. Featuring a bakeoff, a bouncy house, a pinata, entertainment, a North-South portal contest, and a block free of cars. Food is potluck so bring a dish if you would.

FYI to all — neighbor Michael is himself a Bernalwood treasure. Along with cake pops, ample reason to attend the block party on Bernalwood’s finest street.
Who is this SER who called me a Bernalwood treasure? I’d like to thank this person… personally.

It is I, your former workout buddy from WOTH and denizen of the least picturesque (but undeniably widest) block of Elsie Street. I’m out of town this weekend but have directed the family to attend the block party if they can fit it into their busy schedules.
