With Gratitude (Coda) Celebrate New Sidewalks

BY DENNIS MOBLEY • [email protected] BY KATHLEEN BUSKO • WALKABLE INMAN PARK COMMITTEE • [email protected]

New sidewalks are coming! Several neighbors are taking advantage of the IPNA sidewalk subsidy program and have contracted for a replacement during early summer. The Walkable Inman Park Campaign, dedicated to improving the walkability of Inman Park for all ages, celebrates every new sidewalk that brings us steps closer to a truly pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. The campaign will recognize each participating homeowner with yard signs President’s Message acknowledging their support for Walkable Inman Park.

During the coming months, you will notice signs celebrating new sidewalks at the following locations: It seems like it was just yesterday when I wrote my very fi rst President’s Message.

Inman Park Advocator 7 May 2016 Happy 150th Birthday IPUMC! By SArAh AdAir • office MANAger, iPuMc • [email protected]

The Inman Park United Methodist Church (IPUMC) congregation celebrated the 150th anniversary of its founding on Sunday, April 17 with a special worship service led by the Bishop of the North Georgia Conference and a gala luncheon where many descendants of early Inman Park families were in attendance. Most notable were Asa Candler V, Asa Candler VI, and Asa Candler VII!

After the Civil War, Atlanta had only four remaining churches. IPUMC had a very humble beginning in the spring of 1866. With no building materials or money, a small band of neighbors met in homes, then under a small brush arbor and fi nally in a wood-frame church in the Edgewood community. The current building on Edgewood Avenue was dedicated on April 17, 1898.

IPUMC has served as the cornerstone of the Inman Park neighborhood for years, being a vital part of Festival and the spiritual life of the community. We extend a warm welcome to everyone as we chart the next 150 years and beyond!
