WHAT: The grand re-opening of Green Line Powelton. All are welcome to complimentary coffee and treats as we celebrate Green Line’s impressive new façade and mural.
WHO: Green Line Powelton and University City District
WHEN: Friday, June 11, 4-6pm
WHERE: Green Line Café, 3649 Lancaster Avenue
The locally-owned Green Line Cafe established its third location on Lancaster Avenue in Powelton Village in 2007. Taking over a previously existing coffeehouse business, owners Daniel Thut and Douglas Witmer slowly and steadily made improvements to the cafe, but didn’t do the kind of complete building overhaul they have become known for at 43rd and Baltimore, or at 45th and Locust…until now.
On June 11, The Green Line invites the public to celebrate the newly renovated café, made possible with funding from University City District. The brightly colored building facade has been restored to its historic configuration with a large plate glass window facing the street. The Green Line has also completed a retro-style hand-painted sign on the side of the building, which, with its 30-foot span, creates a new public landmark.
During the grand re-opening celebration, visitors will be treated to free Green Line organic and Fair-Trade coffee, as well as a spread of food samples from the Green Line’s own expanding menu of freshly prepared grab-and-go items. There will also be raffle prizes, music, and other fun stuff!
With new work showing from local artist Jason Hsu!
