South End Style
Here in Worcester, MA we’re obviously making progress in terms of dragging our limp hulk of a industrial city out of the sewer where we festered in for the last two decades, culturally speaking. But this South End Style event my man Andrew Teman tuned me into is the sort of thing we need to emulate if outsiders, and in some cases insiders, are going to take us seriously.
On Thursday, May 5, 2005, the South End Business Alliance (SEBA) will host its inaugural event, South End Style, to be held in the South End at the historical Boston Center for the Arts Cyclorama on 539 Tremont Street in Boston from 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm. This memorable evening will be filled with an array of gourmet foods from culinary hot spots, talented jazz performers and a spring fashion show by noted designers such as Denise Hajjar and David Josef. Rounding out the night, SEBA will present a silent auction which will feature involvement from the many South End businesses.
The mission of South End Style is to increase awareness and promote the Hip and Historic flare of the South End’s many eclectic shops, artists and superb restaurants while enhancing the lifestyle for all our residents. In addition, South End Style was formed to support and promote the vibrancy of South End businesses while supporting the efforts of various South End non-profits.
I like to think I have a pretty solid bead on the pulse of my city, but what we have here is an excellent example of how business can tie it all together for their customers. Our own local Taste of Shrewsbury St. events are similar in design but seem to have more of a job fair feel.

Here’s some additional info on the event:
Tickets are $ 75 per person and will benefit several local charities. You can buy tickets by calling (617)375-8139 and if you use the promo code “weblog” when ordering you will receive a complimentary cocktail. Now don’t say I never did anything for you.
