There is a place for posting events, and I generally check here for interesting things to do. It's particularly useful for people with dogs, and I often see dog walkers here.

I got a home energy audit back in February from the team at RTP back when they were called CCI. I…read morethink RTP absorbed that nonprofit and now the two are one entity. Anyway, the energy audit was super helpful for identifying a lot of things that we could fix to help us out. We used to have to run a heater AND electric blanket at night during the winter because our second floor bedroom was sooooo cold at night! When they came to do the audit, they discovered that we literally had NO insulation in our roof. No wonder we were so cold! We also knew that we were having some water damage from our brickwork leaking, and their audit was able to show us how to see more problem areas than we could identify by eye. The best part of the whole thing was that they not only can give you suggestions of trusted folks to do the work, they give you instructions on how you can do it yourself if you need to! That was soooo helpful :) They seriously provide so much information and help make sense of cost savings vs upfront costs etc.

I have learned that the only way the AG`s will investigate is if there are multiple complaints filed. You will be helping yourself as well as other other victims of this organization which receives both private & public funding to support their very huge staff... (Those who have had a negative experience understand the leadership, functionality of that staff, as well as how they hire contractors). If you ever decide to let them work on your home for "free", keep a copy of the contract, and make sure you fully INVESTIGATE the contractors that they will be using on your property BEFORE allowing them to set foot in your home. in the end, "free" isn't always so free. Good luck.

This was my very first time inside of the center. I attended a book/author conference, and found…read morethe space to be accommodating for a decent size event. You can rent the facility completely and have 2 different areas. For example, one for event and the other you can use for dining. It's located in the Hill District and has served as a recreational and meeting space for decades.

I'm going to be honest, I had no idea that this place existed. The only reason I ended up here was…read morebecause my coworker was having a surprise birthday party for his mother. Not knowing my way around this neighborhood I was surprised by this asset hidden in plain sight. This is a place that every neighborhood could use and should have. It is a multiuse facility that could be used for anything from birthday parties to conferences. Ample space can be found inside with amenities you can use if need be. The inside is interestingly decorated. There is art everywhere. Talk about being a cultural gathering place, which this place is. Pictures hang just about everywhere, whether they are paintings or photographs. I have to say that if you wanted to escape the room you are in you could definitely distract yourself with all that is in here. Parking is available inside the fenced area or on the street. I suggest trying the street as the parking lot is a bit cramped at the moment, but a good thing to have. As for the name of the place, it is a fitting memorial to a young man that met a tragic end.

What is being taught? Gouging What a shame, leadership should be ashamed. They tout that "over 70% stays local" how much goes to the actual selkers Pack or Troop. how much to the sellers Council ? Not disclosed. I should have written a check directly to the Unit. But as a dedicated scouter, Cub Scout pack 32 in the 50/60's And pack 965 in 90's in leadership This fund raiser i would never have condoned. So i purchased one bag to give the poor scout that was put in the position to face the public. Our fund raisers in 965 were a value for supporters, and reasonable sale items for our scouts to sell and learn about asking for support for a non profit volunteer organization. I sure hope the profit is spent wisely, more like 98% directly to scout activities.
