welcome, neighbors!

You might not know Lloyd TMA (Transportation Management Association), but you’d sure know it if they weren’t there doing what they do. In their own words, they’re “an action-oriented association working with businesses and public agencies in the Lloyd District to improve access and mobility…” TMA’s work to support biking and carpooling, parking management, and alternative work hour programs undoubtedly impacts everyone in the district. Whether living there, spending an afternoon, or passing through on a commute, everyone in the Lloyd District benefits from the work and the vision of TMA.

With the Café open and the building busy all the time now, Leftbank’s doors are open for conversation and connection. Last week a group of TMA board members gathered at Leftbank for just that. I planned to give them a tour of the building, but we started in the brewery and as a group we never made it anywhere else. This was likely due to Alex’s usual generosity with his time and his beer. After some sampling, we headed back up to the Café where the lure of good food in a comfy spot kept everyone around the table all afternoon. No matter. We were happy to have our neighbors over, and I expect I’ll have plenty of opportunities to show them through the building some other time.
