Info about the original The Mt. Pleasant Perpetual Stew from March 2025:
“Dear PoPville,
Some friends and I have recently launched the Mt. Pleasant Perpetual Stew Project, and will be hanging out in Lamont Plaza for the entire month of March (12p-1p). Times are hard, and we’ve conjured some stew as resistance.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to come, have some stew, and stay a while. Or, they can simply take some and go on their way. They are welcome to contribute veggies if they’d like, and that’s what keeps the stew full and cookin’. Nothing is for sale, we aren’t affiliated with anyone: just some friends + neighbors who are fortifying each other in these tough times.”
“The stew is an invitation, an ever-changing concoction that gives neighbors the opportunity to just show up in a low-stakes, low-friction kinda way. Place making + bread breaking, if you will. We hope that this stew can be a place for people to gather at and to return to.
We can make These Trying Times just a little bit brighter ~ and just a little bit warmer ~ together.”
