Making memories

By Susan Gartner



On Saturday, Jim Metzger, from Lebanon, OH, brought his kids, Mason and Monet, to Yellow Springs to spend the day. He had visited the garden terrace behind 309 Xenia Avenue on a previous visit and remembered talking with the owner, Alan Macbeth, about the unique building that is "a work-of-art" and the magical outdoor space. As we chatted and I told them about the wonderful new partnership between Alan and the Yellow Springs Arts Council and pointed out the new art gallery and meeting space, bubbles suddenly appeared all around us, floating softly down from the balcony of the 2nd floor apartment.
