Bona Terra Salon, 414 E 63rd Street, is a newly constructed salon in the Brookside East Property. The project began in July, 2014 when the owners contracted George Cevillo, the premier Avada Salon designer in Hammond LA, to design the Salon interior.   During the design phase, Etopa, the Aveda  furniture and fixture company, was selected to provide the interior equipment and Kansas City’s Kessinger/Hunter was selected as the general contractor.

The 35th Annual Brookside St. Patrick’s Day Warm-Up Parade takes place at 2pm on Saturday, March 14. Leading off the parade will be 4th District City Councilwoman Jan Marcason followed by Mr. and Mrs. Irish represented by Brookside Toy and Science owners, Jim and Mary Jo Ward. The Wards are celebrating their 50th year in business in Brookside.

Thank you to the following organizations that joined/renewed their membership with the Southtown Council for 2015 during the month of January 2015:

It is with much excitement that I enter into 2015 as Southtown's new President. This organization continues to serve as a catalyst for change and growth throughout our neighborhoods, and 2015 will be no different. As we look forward to the upcoming year, it will certainly be a year of new beginnings, and therefore new possibilities.
