Because many of us are having conversations about the same subjects – and this blog might help in aggregating those little conversations – to find consensus and a larger, clearer voice. Here are the issues that I find myself discussing, often, with neighbors:
- traffic on Caton Avenue
- noise
- safety
- pollution
- Green energy issues -
- solar paneles
- insulation
- other ways to save money, and make the neighborhood a nicer, healthier place to live (and to stop global warming, which will eventually cause us to be overrun by polar bears)
- crime
- this seems – at the moment – more an issue for people on the (eastern)?) end of the parade ground – Parade Place, etc.
- Environmental health and safety issues
- the fuel pipelines which are underneath us
- the possibility of a breast cancer cluster in Kensington
So – I think that’s a starting point.

This is great. I’m all for anything that gets neighbors talking to each other!
Couldn’t figure out how to contact you via this blog, but I wanted to let people know that we’ve been organized since 2005 and are very hooked into the local political scene. I encourage you all to learn more. Come to our website, join our discussion group, etc. We’re having a block party on Kermit Place on Sept. 15th. Community Plan will be on display, there will be horses and food and Square Dancing.
Yee Haw!
Hey, Just found your blog. I’m interested in participating in any movement to do something about the trucks on Caton Avenue. Anyone out there want to join me?
