A century ago it was the custom of our neighborhood to open our homes during the Christmas season and to share desserts and fellowship with neighbors and friends. Eight years ago the modern day neighbors of Union Hill took up that tradition with the first Union Hill Progressive Dessert. Please join us (and spread the word), as Union Hill celebrates this eighth Season by progressing through several homes on January 9th! The first home is 801 North 24th Street. A map to other homes will be available there!
