This site was originally born out of LOVE for the neighborhood. After moving here 8 years ago, I quickly learned there was a lot to discover. I watched as the neighborhood evolved and new places emerged. I wanted to capture and share my musings with others but as life would have it, I found no time to give this site life during jobs and child rearing.

Now, it seems during the pandemic, there is not greater time for this blog to emerge. The purpose now is not only to spread joy about the neighborhood but to also inform those of us that have chosen to stay and fight to keep it alive. I want to give the small business, stores and restaurants that provide the charm and character we all know and love, a voice and a clarity on their offerings. I hope this site can guide the neighborhood back to life, allow us all to emerge and enjoy the community and allow the businesses that shoulder the neighborhood to withstand this period of time, with safety.

With Love, Chana
