Through the efforts of dedicated neighbors like Malcolm Peabody, the long term future of Scheele’s Market is secure. To recap: Jordan O’Neill purchased the building from the Scheele family and has signed a covenant with a group of neighbors to keep the market open for at least 15 years. In exchange for the covenant, the neighbors have agreed to pay O’Neill $75,000.
So far the Save Scheele’s fund has raised almost the complete amount it needs. Sixty neighbors have contributed $55,000 total. To push the over the top, tomorrow night there will be a block party. It will kick off at 6:00 and go till 9:00 and will be on 29th between O and Dumbarton. You can bring your donation (a check made out to Friends of Scheele’s) to the party. Continue reading
