 Victory Park will be hosting a Trunk or Treat this year for Halloween this coming Friday October 31st from 6-7pm.
All are welcome to attend, and costumes are well appreciated in celebration of this event. There will be good food, great fun and lots of festivities are all ages.
So come on out to Victory Park located at 1051 South 23rd Street.
 The corner of 16th and Hale Street has been improved for the upkeep and safety of those in the neighborhood. This improvement will allow everyone to safely cross the street including those senior citizens with wheel chairs, motor scooters, and electric wheel chairs.
 Thousands of dollars worth of art jewelry stolen from a California artist just before the St. James Court Art Show has been recovered.
Kathleen Caid had dozens of pieces stolen, representing hundreds of hours of work and thousands of dollars in potential profit. Caid will soon be reunited with the artwork she never thought she'd see again.
Heartbroken by the theft, Caid had passed out missing flyers to businesses and artists around town.
On Sunday October 26th, Louisville Metro Police Department tracked down a suspect in a separate burglary, Theodore Jackson. They found him in a vacant home with stolen materials including Caid's work, then the search began for the jewelry's owner.
On Monday October 27th, Louisville Metro Police Department Officer Singleton brought the jewelry to Edenside Gallery owner Nancy Peterson to see if she recognized it.
Peterson immediately recognized the jewelry from the flyer and called Caid.The jewelry is now with Caid's son Cassidy in Louisville who will be mailing it to his mom Friday. Both mother and son want to say a big thank you to Louisville Metro Police Department.
 Councilman James and Brightside would like to thank everyone who came out to help and support the 7th & Magnolia Clean-up as well as the Limerick Clean-up this past Saturday October 25, 2014.
There were bags of trash, weeds and debris that were collected and disposed of, as well as the graffiti along the walls painted over in hopes to improve the neighborhood.
A special thanks goes out to all volunteers, especially Herb Fink and Steve Peterson, your work is truly appreciated, and we look forward to seeing you at the next Brightside Clean-Up.
