Just over a year ago we introduced you to 902 N Mangum St, and it wasn’t a pretty sight. Today we re-introduce you – this time to the new Bull City Cool Food Hub. And what a transformation! It was oversized and outdated, its excessively blocky structure resembling something you might find in the popular […]
Rusty the Rooster… Guardin’ the Gates
We have a new edition to the food hub’s landscape – Rusty the Rooster. Rusty is Bull City Cool’s guardian of the northwest, while local artist Tom Dawson’s bull guards the southeast corner… with a pitchfork. (Rusty, you’re going to have to step up your game!) Our urban-agriculture statues may not be as majestic as […]
Opportunity Knocks – Answer it!
Certificate of Occupancy in hand, the Bull City Cool Food Hub is ready to hit the ground running! But first we need a Food Hub Coordinator. So read on… then pass on this job opportunity if you know someone who’s a good fit. Food Hub Coordinator (Posted: 08/05/2015) The Bull City Cool Food Hub is […]
A Garden in the Desert
The Bull City Cool Food Hub is located in a USDA-designated food desert, or an urban neighborhood “without ready access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food.” And strategically so. The hub is designed to bring fresh veggies to food-desert residents, many of whom are more than a half-mile from the nearest supermarket. We’re bridging the […]
Putting the “Bull” in Bull City Cool
Bull City Cool, in Bull City proper, would be incomplete without… (say it with me)… a Bull. Luckily local metal artist Tom Dawson was up to the task of crafting one to both guard the food hub with a pitch fork, and reflect our historic building’s colorful history. Read on to learn more in this […]
The Office – In Black and White
Here it is in black and white… the land-locked heart of 902 N Mangum St. If you’re wondering whether this picture is from 1950 or 2015, don’t worry… We won’t leave you hanging like those pendant lights. Answer: It’s our finished office space at the food hub, taken squarely in 2015. Hard to tell, though, […]
Beauty and the Beast
Say hello to Amelia O’Rourke-Owens, project manager for the Bull City Cool food hub’s construction. She’s standing next to our sparkling storefront, which is finally seeing the light of day! These storefront windows provide a crystal-clear view of the intersection at North Mangum and East Geer streets. In the background of this photo you can […]
The Warehouse Fan – Part 2
After A2Z Contractors removed the warehouse fan, they set to work repairing the block frame that remained. Next, they filled the space with the glass block mosaic you see here. As is par for the course, we’re thrilled to add another window to the food hub and particularly to the warehouse. This window lets natural […]
A Veggie-Conductor’s Podium
The Bull City Cool food hub comes to life on “veggie delivery day” in a beautiful and organic orchestra of movement. And that orchestra wouldn’t be complete without a conductor, who of course needs a podium. (My logic here feels very reminiscent of one of my favorite books – If You Give a Mouse A […]
No Longer Vanilla
Our warehouse space is officially clean, complete, and code-compliant. What really “finishes it off” is the quick and consistent paint job by Gonzalez Painters. At approximately 2,500 sq ft the warehouse is a vast space, most of which is now white or grey. One exception is our newly installed bathroom that’s painted a vivid green […]
