Your neighbor.
Regina LOVES city life and the 43A District! She spends time at the year round Waverly Farmers Market on Saturday mornings enjoying strong coffee, decadent pies, fresh vegetables, dangerously sinful biscuits and fragrant oils. She rides her bike in the spring, summer and fall to Lake Montebello, Druid Lake Park, Bike Party, City Pools, Friday evening dance outings and social events with friends.
Regina doesn’t miss the opportunity to enjoy city events like Light City downtown and in her community; and loves the sounds of reggae and soca on E. 33rd Street when the annual Caribbean Festival parades to Clifton Park in June. Regina loves to eat, and makes her way around the district with family and friends to the many restaurants and carry-outs on Greenmount, St. Paul, York Road, Harford Road, North Avenue and the Avenue in Hampden.
There is so much to do in the 43A District, and Regina does a lot of it. She hopes to see you out and about in the district!
