Unbreaking’s Live Music & Crafts

Join us for an evening of creativity, connection, and relaxation as local musicians fill the space with gentle live music designed to be enjoyed rather than shouted over. This isn’t a loud concert, crowded bar, or high-energy venue. It’s a chance to slow down, settle in, and enjoy being around other people in a warm, welcoming environment. For this one, we’ve secured a band made of two cool cats, The Trash Cats, who specialize in playful banter, 90’s to current music, and the best free cat stickers in town. Bring your own craft project if you’d like. Knitting, crochet, embroidery, drawing, coloring, journaling, hand sewing, and other low-mess creative projects are all welcome. If you’d rather travel light, we’ll have supplies available including coloring pages, colored pencils, markers, yarn, crochet hooks, knitting needles, scissors, and simple beginner-friendly crafts. Our space is designed for comfort. Sink into a cozy chair, spread…

Community Design Workshop: 44th Ave E Waterfront Access

Join the St. Louis River Alliance, the City of Superior, and Stantec for the next step in shaping the future of the 44th Ave E Dock—formerly known as the Bunge Dock. Building on the ideas and feedback shared during June’s community walking tour (recap here), this interactive design workshop will give participants an opportunity to review preliminary concepts for the future public waterfront access area and help refine the vision for the site. Stantec’s design team will present early design ideas developed from community input collected from the public survey and June Walk & Talk. Participants will be invited to discuss the concepts, share their perspectives, and identify the elements they feel are most important. Community feedback from this workshop will directly inform the next phase of design development. Whether you attended the June event or are joining the conversation for the first time, your input is valuable. Final plans…
