Spring finally seems to be creeping in, ever so slowly… tulips and other spring flowers have popped up, dotting the neighborhood with color; yard sales have begun again (be sure to add yours to our open thread posts on Fridays!); and street festivals and neighborhood events like the Capitol Hill Classic are upon us. It’s a great time to get out and rediscover why our neighborhood is truly a neighborhood. And with so much development going on in every corner, there is clearly plenty more to come!
