When members of the Foster Area Business Association (FABA) met on September 12, many of them got their first look at a newly redesigned “Foster Road Walking Map” of the business district.

As the group gathered under the veranda at Carts on Foster, FABA president, Matthew Micetic of Red Castle Games, LLC, grinned that he continues to be enthusiastic about the district.

The Foster Road neighborhood business district continues to improve, says FABA President Matthew Micetic.

“Business along Foster Road continues to get better; we’re seeing more and more new small businesses opening up, filling in empty storefronts,” Micetic told East Portland News. “And, a number of real estate transactions have been taking place, so we’ll be seeing more business is coming in shortly.”

Picking up their new brochure, Micetic pointed out that this was the second edition of the “Foster Road Walking Map”.

The designer of the “Foster Road Walking Map”, Steve Turmell, shows a copy of the new brochure.

“We’ve added a significant number of sponsors for the map, as well as many more businesses listed. Steve Turmell Visual Communications did a great job producing this piece,” affirmed Micetic. “With the maps on display in only four stores starting this week, people are already taking them, and finding how they can navigate what’s along Foster Road.”
