 Alex Beeby, member of the Adult Board of Directors for the Northfield Union of Youth (NUY), told me this morning that they’d closed on the purchase of the old Northfield Photo building at 111 West 6th St.
 It’ll be the new location for NUY’s youth center, The Key, currently at 303 Water St. A press release is forthcoming.
NUY owns the north half (building and property) of its current location. The City of Northfield owns the other half.

 I happened to be having fish and chips on the upper deck of the Contented Cow last night when a swarm of adults and youth converged on an unsuspecting Amy Merritt to inform her that she’d been named the new Executive Director of the Union of Youth (The Key) , succeeding Josh Hinnencamp, pictured with her in the photo.
There’s no announcement yet on the Union of Youth blog nor on their Facebook group but Marie Fischer posted a note on her Facebook wall.

 Joel Walinski wrote in the Friday Memo for July 10:
As noted below, approximately 50% of the Babcock Park Rodeo Grounds parking lot was overlayed this week. Local skateboarders were out the following day examining and testing the work completed. Word from the Skate Board Coalition is the group will be working on installing different components over the next several weeks in this area.
Nothing about this so far on the Union of Youth’s skatepark page (which is actually the Union of Youth blog with the tag word ‘skatepark’).
Looks like they’re going to need a trash container there.

 Three youth board members from the Northfield Union of Youth joined us yesterday to discuss the organization on its 15th anniversary. L to R in the photo with me and Jesse James: Maisie, Hattie, and Ruth. They’ll be at tonight’s open house at The Key. See my blog post from earlier this week on the event. There are over two dozen comments attached to it, many by young people talking about what the organization has meant to them. (continued)

As Robbie and I got out of our car in downtown’s west side parking lot last night, we heard music coming from both the Cow’s outdoor stage and the back deck of The Key. Northfielders who ventured downtown, it turns out, got a real treat from the bands at both outdoor venues—with warm temps, spectacular skies, and later on, a full moon.
