R.A.G.E. Brings the Neighborhood Together at Englewood Village Meeting This Tuesday — Plus a 00K Win for Southside BloomsBy Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Englewood ·
West Englewood has two fresh reasons to celebrate this week. First, the Resident Association of Greater Englewood (R.A.G.E.) is hosting an Englewood Village Meeting this Tuesday, March 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at KIPP Bloom College Prep. Open to all community members, the Village Meeting is one of R.A.G.E.'s signature forums for bringing residents, local leaders, and stakeholders face-to-face to shape the neighborhood's future — covering everything from economic development and housing to youth programming and community safety. Whether you're a longtime Englewood resident or a newcomer eager to plug in, Tuesday's gathering is your chance to have a direct voice in what happens on your block.
Meanwhile, some exciting news out of the broader Englewood community is generating well-deserved buzz: urban farmer and entrepreneur Quilen Blackwell has been awarded a
00,000 prize to expand Chicago Eco House — his innovative nonprofit that transforms previously vacant South and West Side lots into flourishing flower gardens — and Southside Blooms, the beloved Englewood flower shop that puts those homegrown blooms directly into residents' hands. The prize signals growing national recognition for Englewood's green economy and the determined community builders behind it.Together, these stories paint a vivid picture of a neighborhood building its own future, block by block and meeting by meeting. Head to ragenglewood.org to RSVP for Tuesday's Englewood Village Meeting and keep the momentum going.
