Building Bridges, on the 38th Street Bridge

Now that the 38th Street bridge has reopened over Interstate 35W, neighbors will gather for a sit-down dinner — on the bridge — on Thursday, Aug. 16.

The evening will feature live music, kid-friendly activities, dinner and conversation.

Volunteers at Eat for Equity have started preparing about 200 meals, with a menu loosely based on a southern heritage meal they’ve served at Bonnaroo in Tennessee. Dinner begins at 5:45 PM–there are no reservations and seating will be first come, first served.
