Just a brief note about the ‘Keys to the City’ event last night. Our neighborhood was well represented, with myself, Martha John, and Sarah Catlin-Dupuy in attendance. I spoke with several of the City Council members about issues relevant to our neighborhood (more on that later) and we all made good use of the time to gather information and make connections. The ‘Neighborhood Congress’ discussion was very preliminary (as covered here in the Missourian), but I think that more could come of it in the future.

And I also want to tell everyone – if you haven’t recently been by Betty Gladney’s ‘beauty spot’ at the bottom of Country Lane, be sure to swing by soon! The flowers are in full bloom and it is absolutely lovely – well worth a nice walk over, or an extra bit of time in the car.
