Spring has finally sprung! Please get outside and drink it in. It’s intoxicating.
As seasons turn in the near-term, the entire Hill & Lake community is bracing for dramatic change over the long-term—from the reconstruction of Hennepin Avenue in the east to Southwest Light Rail (SWLRT) in the west to Cedar Lake and Lake of the Isles planning in-between. We are doing our best to cover the evolution of planning efforts and project implementation from a variety of vantagepoints.
I hope you enjoy the interview with Henry LaBounta, a neighborhood superhero with the unusual power to quietly pick up trash around the Lake of the Isles while maintaining a selfless, sunny outlook.
Josie Owen’s feature on the WWI horses honored by Peavey Fountain is truly fascinating. Can you image the sight of horseback riding around the bridle paths of Lake of the Isles?
Happy Memorial Day to our readers and best wishes for a wonderful summer ahead! Please share your stories and photos with us at hillandlakepress@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you.
