We were so excited to get started that we forgot before pictures! This garage door?? is off to the side of our building and looks just like our whole building did before the paint job. Tags scrawled over old gray brick, bright blue splotches everywhere-to cover the old tags- and peeling red paint on all the trim. Gorgeous!

Dream It. Do It.

Here's the side of our building that people see when they're driving up. When Shiva and I were brainstorming about the design for the building, we talked about some of our first Venture Teams. This one is based on Flava of Phillips Healthy Youth, a group that grows veggies and hands out healthy recipes around their neighborhood. We liked the image of a garden because of all the different Ventures that would grow out of Youth Venture. The grill is for summer-time cook outs that we like to have :)

Our new sign- this artist came back for a week running to get it all just right. This is the sign that faces the street, tells everyone who we are, and gets all sorts of people to crane their necks as they drive by
