CITYVIEW POINTS E-NEWSLETTER NO. 27

Note from the Committee Chair:

Residents likely have noticed that NoVi restaurant is closed, and that
signs announce the coming of “Philly Pub & Grub.” CityView Points has
no further information about the change at this time, except that the
space remains under the ownership of CityView Fairmount Retail
Associates, which owns all of the commercial spaces at CityView. We
promise to pass along more information about this change as it becomes
available.
