It’s nearly the ides of
December, and with the
permeating cold and lack of
sun there’s one chilling fact
that makes this time so bleak.
That’s right, there are three
more weeks until Eugene’s
next art walk. Fortunately our
neighboring city has stepped
in to rescue us. The Downtown
Springfi eld Second Friday
Art Walk invites us to step
east and enjoy art mid-month,
and December’s walk features
a fl ashlight tour led by the
Eugene Storefront Art Project.
Maps will be available
on the route or at
