Introducing the Horton Street Community Bulletin Board

The Tattler introduces the Horton Street Community Bulletin Board.  Located on the east side of Horton Street at the Sherwin Street intersection, the bulletin board is available for neighbors to leave messages of interest to the community: missing dogs, services available, things for sale, poetry, community news, opinion on local politics and more.  The Tattler provided the board and will maintain it including a City News section and a current Tattler story section.

To contribute, neighbors are asked to tape messages to the plexiglass and if they meet the requirements (no advertising for businesses, no hate speech, etc) they will be added to the board.  Please place a date on submissions so we can keep the messages timely.

The Community Bulletin Board replaces an earlier board in the same location that was stolen several years ago.  

This community resource is similar to several other such boards placed on the public sidewalks over the years in Emeryville, notably a very popular one placed by former community activist Richard Ambro in front of his house on 64th Street.  We are hoping the City of Emeryville moves to encourage more community bulletin boards around our town because they encourage community involvement and help disperse valuable information for the community.

The Horton Street Community Bulletin Board is located at an extra 
wide part of the public sidewalk, encouraging people to linger and
gather with the community there.
