This Saturday, Sept. 8th, 10am – 12pm, Walk Pinckney with Lawrence Police Chief Gregory Burns!!

2018 marks our second year of ‘Walk Pinckney’.

The Walk Pinckney event this month is extra special. This month, the Lawrence Chief of Police, Gregory Burns, will be joining us!

As before, we’ll be meeting in the westernmost parking lot of Lawrence Memorial Hospital (the one just north of 4th st). near the sign and trees at the intersection of Arkansas and 4th. From there we will split up and walk a section of the neighborhood.

We will walk door to door throughout Pinckney and introduce ourselves, discuss the Pinckney Neighborhood Association’s upcoming events as well as the PNA’s purpose of connecting residents and making our neighborhood the best it can be.

Be sure to invite your friends and anyone else you think might want to come.

Please let us know via email if you plan to attend: pinckney.neighborhood@gmail.com

• Changing our Neighborhood Name

  Our neighborhood name of “Pinckney” was recently changed to “Pinkney.” This change occurred because Pinckney with a ‘c’ was associated with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a Revolutionary War general who signed the Constitution and who also was a slaveholder who believed slavery was fundamental to the American way of life (he owned a large plantation in South Carolina). Given this problematic history, neighborhood residents voted to change our neighborhood name. To learn more about the year-long process, go to our dedicated webpage. The final round of voting ultimately landed on the name of “Pinkney” in honor of William Pinkney, who gave a famous anti-slavery speech in 1789.
