Byron C. Arnold

Hello all my name is Byron Arnold currently living in the Hamline / Midway area. My connection to the neighborhood is , I’ve been in the neighborhood since 1996, I have seen people, and businesses come and go. I love this area; the neighbors make it feel like a big community looking out for each other. Also being in close walking, and driving distance to various businesses (Cub, Taco Bell, and other stores).

When joining the board, I didn’t know what to expect, but I wanted to help , and get to know more of my neighbors in the community; all while getting me out of my shell.  I was very fortunate to be an assistance to my neighborhood during the Minneapolis/ Saint Paul uprisings by raising money to purchase food and toiletries to distribute them in the neighborhood. During that time the stores was closed, or they would close early while others were destroyed; it was fulfilling moment hearing all the great feedback about what we were doing for the community.
