What Goes Around, Comes Around.
I was recently reflecting back on a “Thru the Windshield” Marge Klise wrote in 2015 and noted a number of items that have particular relevance today.
In her musings, her first statement, “We have lost many of our beautiful large trees in the last few years,” is appropriate as MBRA continues to promote our tree replacement program which was instituted in 2016. If you are in need of replacing a tree, you can still take advantage of the program. Details can be found here.
Marge went on to state, “Have you noticed the presence of new young families? Children out playing? We need your fresh ideas….and your strong bodies.”
Yes, yes and yes! We continue to attract young people, who find the entire Moss Bradley area to be a wonderful place to raise a family and live a rich, full life. Her final statement in that phrase is key…”we need your fresh ideas.”
As the neighborhood continues to evolve we need to have the input of our newest neighbors and encourage you to actively participate by becoming a member, if you are not one already, having a voice at our membership meetings, and being an active participant with events and activities.
One of her final observations was about the lot at Union Hill and Moss and having it progress into an inviting entrance to our neighborhood.
If you attend the special membership meeting on Sunday, August 20th, you will hear of plans by a residential contractor to develop the property at Union Hill and Moss with historically appropriate townhomes. More details are certain to follow in the coming weeks and we will work to communicate with all of you as the plans go before the Historic Preservation Commission and the city of Peoria We will share email information and make it an agenda item at our September Membership meeting on Wednesday, September 6th.
Marge was a wise, insightful person, who obviously was clairvoyant.
