2012 Better Block Project Takes on Rhode Island Avenue

Many thanks to all of the partners, residents, volunteers and sponsors who made the 2nd Annual Better Block Project a success. On April 28, 2012, Gateway CDC, Joe’s Movement Emporium, Mount Rainier Business Association and the Neighborhood Design Center gathered together with our neighbors, friends, local government partners and awesome vendors in the adjacent parking lot to a former funeral home at the intersection between Eastern Avenue and Rhode Island Avenue in Mount Rainier. We were proud to help transform the funeral home with a complete facelift – designed by Valerie Theberge, the new design taking shape on this abandoned building and former eyesore will energize the community and send a strong signal as people enter Mount Rainier that they are entering an Arts District. The Gateway Arts District stretches between Mount Rainier, into Brentwood and North Brentwood and as far north as Hyattsville.

Do you have photos from the Better Block Project this year? Share them with us and all of your neighbors! Send to ExecDirector@gatewaycdc.org.

The event was inspired by the Better Block Project in Oak Cliff, Texas and this is our second year of fun and community improvement in Mount Rainier.
