Welcome Spring! Soon Summer will be here before we know it. The year is moving along faster than I can keep up. I do look forward to the nicer weather and being able to stop and pause in the warmth of the sun, take a walk through the neighborhood and enjoy all the beautiful gardens and spring flowers. My crocuses are plentiful this year and the tulips are preparing for a fantastic show of color. Soon we will have new trees around some businesses and homes in Eliot to add to the urban landscape (see page 10).

Well, this issue of the Eliot News has something for everyone. There are articles on architecture, celebrations of new housing, opportunities to serve others and clean up our neighborhood, and updates on some ongoing programs. We appropriately have an Earth Day litter pick up and some gardening opportunities you won’t want to miss (see page 1).

Seeing such a variety of content makes me proud to be a part of the Eliot News team and the Eliot Neighborhood Association. It’s incredible all the amazing people I have met over the last four years editing this publication. I truly appreciate the opportunity. It has made me more connected to the residents and neighborhood and enriched me in new ways I never imagined.

If you want to get involved with the Eliot News selling advertising or writing content, please contact me. We have an amazing team and it’s a great way to connect with your Eliot Neighborhood businesses and residents.
