Rising above the trolley sounds at the beautiful Main Street Promenade at the Trolley Depot, in Lemon Grove, was the operatic voice of Anishka Lee-Skorepa. Singing at the Morlan-Ofield Team and Lemon Grove Historical Society’s Lemon Grove Live!

With a full slate of impressive singers and musicians donning the stage, Don Porcella (indie rock) Sam Schildkraut (saxophone), Greg Theilmann & Chad Pittman (indie folk), and Diana Aversa (world music) sang heart and soul for the community event on Oct. 25.

Part of the design team of the plaza and personal partners, Robin Brailsford and Wick Alexander highlighted what the plaza was for. Brailsford said the plaza was “designed to gather as a community.”

Helen Ofield, coordinator of the event with Kinsee Morlan of CityBeat Magazine, were the forces behind putting this music event together.

The plaza reflected the various parts of Lemon Grove—it’s past, present, and the future. The event reflected the current side of Lemon Grove with music in the air and musicians performing on the streets.
