Looking for a family-friendly Halloween event located in Downtown Austin?  DANA invites downtown residents to bring their children to The Shore Condos (map) for an old-fashioned trick-or-treating experience!

Kids – wear your scariest or cutest costume, and bring something to collect your goodies in! Parents – please bring valid photo ID for check in.

While DANA always encourages walking or taking public transportation, if you do drive, parking will be generously provided (for those who RSVP) by DANA business sponsor Austin Shadeworks. Attendees will be given details on parking and how to obtain their permit by email before the event.

Attendees are encouraged to stay for a special Halloween party from 7pm to 8pm sponsored by the little Austin Yoga House.

This event is tailored for children 9 and under.

RSVP by October 24th to matt@urbanspacerealtors.com.

Please note: space is limited to 30 children and their parents

Let’s Go Vote!

One of the most critical acts of civic responsibility is voting and some of the greatest impact on our day to day lives is made by local elected officials.  Four out of seven city council members, including the mayor, are up for election and it’s important that Downtown gets out the vote.

Community Impact has prepared a quick fact sheet on each candidate here and each candidate has posted short videos on the city’s website introducing themselves to voters, here.

Saturday, May 12, 2012 | Election Day

Regular voting is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and a voter must vote in his or her assigned precinct.  To find out where you should go vote, click here:  http://www.traviscountytax.org/showVoterNameSearch.do

In May 2011, only 7.4% of registered voters came out to vote and downtown turnout was about that average.  For the neighborhood that includes city hall, and whose future is shaped significantly by decisions made by City Council, Downtown can do better than average. Go vote!
