A Few Words from the SuperNeighborhood President Betty Heacker:

In 1985 I left the food manufacturing business and bought a raggedly little feed store on a rundown street called Washington Avenue.  My family and friends all thought that I had lost my mind.  Now they all think that I am a genius.  From my vantage point, as the principal owner of Wabash Antiques and Feed, I have seen Washington Avenue transformed from a faded, forgotten, once-great community to its new unfolding identity as a hip, happening, and very cool place to be.  While most of the physical structures are being replaced and the area is largely being re-populated, what remains is to re-build a sense of community…that is one of the goals of our SuperNeighborhood and it is a big reason why I am a part of the parade team for the Washington On Washington Parade in March of 2007.
