THIS YEAR'S YARD SALES were a great success and rather popular again, the weather turned out to be fantastic! We saw lots and lots of traffic up and down our streets all day long. It was great! Thanks to all who held a sale and thanks to all who shopped til they dropped! We hope you found some bargains while helping to de-clutter our neighbors' garages, basements and closets!!!

NEXT YEAR we hope for much of the same...
So Save the Date-- first Saturday in May

Plaza Pastries and Donuts is located at the southeast corner of Connecticut Street and Morgan Ford Road.

Dear Neighbor,

As your alderman I take seriously any action that affects the quality of life here in our neighborhood.

Last week, I was summoned to a hastily organized meeting in the mayor's office. The improvements to South Grand have been fast-tracked by the metropolitan planning organization called East-West Gateway. They have retained a design firm to engage the community and offer a redesign of Grand Boulevard between Arsenal and McDonald.

The city's Curbside Recycling Cost-share Program is great, and a real bargain, especially now, because they are experimenting with single-stream recycling, and thus allow co-mingling; no separation needed! And they pick up every Friday in 63116 -- all for$45 per year.

It's much simpler than keeping things separated, loading up the car and driving to your favorite drop-off location. Try it, you'll love it!
