Saturday the 16th, from 9 to 12 the new Dog Park in Church Hill is having it’s grand opening celebration. So, bring your dog and have some fun, there will be rescue groups, food and even a best trick contest. They will also be taking donations for the dog park.

Last night I was driving down Laburnum Ave and noticed that now there is a Best Buy going up beside the Ukrops! I am excited about all of the new stores being built that will soon make a trip to the West End a thing of the past.

It is nice to see all the growth in our area. Article in RTD
