State of deep unconscious

In the Neighborhood: Shoreditch is officially going to sleep for the forseeable future . We will keep the blog up as much of the old information is still relevant but no new posts will appear.

Thank you.

Riveting Rivington

The arrival of my daily mail ties my stomach up in knots and sends a shudder up my spine - the usual crew of bank statements, water bills and countless final demands is certainly one to be feared. However this morning one suspiciously inviting envelope was present and called for a closer look. As soon as I recognised the YCN.72 Rivington logo, excitement enveloped me and seconds later I sat surrounded by shredded paper and clutching treasure in my hands, my much-anticipated YCN.72 lending library card!

The lending library at 72 Rivington Street boasts a stimulating selection of publications and books to be borrowed for up to 14 days. Membership is free and the process is quick and easy, simply drop-in, fill out a form and a few days later your library card will be in your hands, yielding access to an abundance of inspirational materials.

In the Future... (and some history)

For those of you that don't know, while Shoreditch has a reputation for being overly trendy and up-to-date, it also has quite a history to boast.  In fact, Shoreditch was none other than Shakespeare's original neighborhood!  Some of his first plays were performed at 'The Theatre', which was located on what we now know as Curtain Road.  Now, the Tower Theatre Company has commissioned and excavation of the site by the Museum of London Archaeology, set to commence within the next two years.  The company hopes to build a modern-day theatre, around the remains of the original playhouse, which will feature a box-office, bar, and 135-seat auditorium, and will stage 18 annual shows along with other community projects.  Keep your eye out for this fantastic new addition to The Neighborhood!

Neighborhood-ly Citizen of the Week.

Sorry for the poor phone camera quality, but this grinning girl is none other than In the Neighborhood's 1st featured neighborhood-ly citizen, Katie. Neighborhood-ly behaviour is far and few between in these modern times but this act of good-will prove that it is still in existence.

We caught Katie as she leaped from her Sunday brunch pancakes and coveted outdoor table at Little Georgia, sprinted far off into the distance where she retrieved a fallen baby accessory belonging to proud new parents, sprinted a little more when she finally reached the couple and returned the forgotten object. Touching, to say the least.

So if you happen to see this face around the neighborhood, don't despair...she's got your back.

An explanation.

We have all been out of the neighbourhood recently so apologies for the dire lack of posts. If it's any consolation we were unbearably homesick.
