 Amazon Creek photo showing the running path and wild vegetation. It is an oasis within the city, yet one can imagine that one is not in a city based on this view. Very peaceful though not exactly completely true to what the neighborhood looks like away fromthe creek...

HISTORY, Distant

We had in mind for this page an eclectic history of the neighborhood, such as when the Masonic Cemetery was built, where the old trolly lines and turn-arounds were, how the streets have changed, more about the oldest homes in the area, some of the playful things the neighborhood has enjoyed (caroling, Fourth of July parades, Valentine Potlucks, etc) as well as some of the issues that have brought the neighborhood together (traffic calming survey, chirping crosswalks lights, etc).

To participate and plan this page, contact the webmaster at maroz@comcast.net
