Support the Midway Chamber of Commerce!

Update has been a proud member of the Midway Chamber of Commerce for over 20 years. Executive director Lori Fritts does a great job of running our chamber. The great monthly luncheons have interesting speakers on relevant topics. Many fun events are held to help people network. Lori and her staff work tirelessly to provide lots of information to the members about light rail and other important issues and to act as a voice for businesses in the area.

Love The Chromazone murals!

This is one of my favorite murals by artist Chuck U. It's painted on 2290 Wycliff, close to my office. The Creative Enterprise Zone did a great job with the mural fest! It makes the neighborhood feel more vibrant. So much is happening here, but sometimes we fly under the radar. I've always felt that the people in the Creative Enterprise Zone knew we had a lot going on, but now we have visual proof! It will be fun to see what the CEZ comes up with next.
