Lafayette Square Hosting Parade
(posted June 1)
The Lafayette Square Area Coalition is celebrating the multi-cultural diversity
of the Lafayette Square area by hosting a parade October 18. The parade
is part of the kickoff for the Second Annual Taste The Difference tour
October 20-26, designed to encourage customers to try the different
ethnic restaurants in the area.
The parade will use the Lafayette Road corridor starting at Lafayette Square
Mall and finishing at Wal-Mart Super Center. The parade will also provide
a medium for Eagledale-Lafayette Square Area Weed and Seed to get the message
out that it has completed its one year anniversary of receiving a Department
of Justice grant. Not many businesses or residents are aware of the designation.
LSAC board member Mark Killgo said free WiFi internet access
is installed at the mall. He said that ewireless has signed up businesses to become hot spot locations. Users will see
splash page advertisements for the business that is hosting that particular
hot spot. The wireless service will also provide customer demographics
to the business.
In other news, developer Clint Fultz said that he sold the Georgetown Cinema
14 and Sav-a-Lot to the cinema tenants on May 16 for undisclosed amount
of money.
