Pretty Parkways!

A couple of neighbors have been busy relandscaping their parkways recently. Both are on corner lots so their work covers two sides of their property. And they both look really great!!

They obviously put A LOT of work into these project which means, I think, that they obviously take A LOT of pride in their homes. As a result they have not only increased the beauty (and value) of their properties but also helped to beautify this community!

In the coming weeks and months, I'll be highlighting Pretty Parkways as a way to THANK the community members who are going above and beyond in efforts to make the Eastside more beautiful. It definitely inspires me to want to beautify our own parkways!!

Please let me know if there are other Pretty Parkways that deserve recognition.

Did You Know: Wescom's Change Machine

You can use the change machine at the Wescom Credit Union on Milpas at Gutierrez for free?! Scolari's Coinstar charges $0.9/dollar but not at Wescom! My $9.91 in change was converted to cash dollars on site. No fees. Check it out!
