Last Monday I had the opportunity to attend a neighborhood forum in west Toledo in which the agenda was centered around the recent expansion at DeVeaux Village. About 150 people were there with a few folks not very happy about the recent changes. Most of the angst was centered around parking and traffic concerns. However, most of the attenders seemed extremely positive about the additions of Goodwill, Cedarcreek, and various retail businesses. The one thing evident with all the people in attendance was a concern and a passion for their neighborhood. It made me all the more excited about becoming part of this vibrant community. I pray that God reveals to us how we can become good neighbors and have a positive impact for the kingdom.

Re: Good Neighbors
I'm in on that prayer as well.
As far as it being a vibrant community, note: every other Sunday afternoon (startin 10/14) , at El Camino Real, (downstairs) there is a bluegrass jam session. Sometimes gospel music gets played.

Re: Good Neighbors
Occasionally. CedarCreek usually finds its way into the conversation.
