CPRV Neighbors Toast to Six Months of Happy Hours at Perro Blanco

The Colonial Place Riverview Civic League marked its sixth consecutive monthly Community Happy Hour on Wednesday, November 5th—this time at Perro Blanco, our neighborhood’s go-to Tequila & Mezcal spot.

What started as a fun idea from Artemis Stoll, our incredible Social Events Committee Chair, has blossomed into a monthly tradition that truly embodies the spirit of CPRV. Artemis envisioned these gatherings as a way to spotlight local businesses while giving neighbors a chance to connect, laugh, and build friendships—and she’s delivered in every way. Her dedication over the years has played a huge role in helping our community grow closer and more vibrant.

This month’s happy hour had it all—a lively lounge atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food, and a fantastic turnout. We saw new faces, familiar friends, and even neighbors who hadn’t been to an event in a while. From tacos and nachos to tequila and good conversation, it was the kind of evening that reminds us why we love calling CPRV home.

Next month, we’ll keep the fun rolling with our December Happy Hour at Fellini’s (date TBD). Follow us on social media for updates—and come raise a glass with your neighbors!

We love being your neighbor!
