The Spring Neighborhood Clean Up was Saturday, April 21st. Thanks to everyone that came out to help, especially the new volunteers. Drive down 15th and notice how the street signs on the opposite side of the street disappear.

The government just posted census data online for the first time. It's at http://1940census.archives.gov Our neighborhood South of Washington is in ED 30-103 and North of Washington ED 30-101. It's listed by address although you can only look at or download jpeg images of scanned microfilm. Not only can you find the owner and all the family members who lived there but their occupations, ages, income and the value of the home. That is if you can interpret the bad penmanship of the census taker that covered Washington Square. Note that many of our streets didn't exist yet in 1940. You can view a much larger map here.

The Progressive Dinner was a warm and fuzzy event for all who attended.

Here’s the recipe if you want to do it again:
First assemble the fabulous neighbors of Washington square together at three successive beautiful homes.  Stir in some delectable wine, cocktails and array of jello shots. Add water bottles so we all stay hydrated.
Now let’s get to the feasting.  Stir in some truly delectable, unforgettable food presented on tables groaning with a plethora of painstakingly prepared, prize-winning offerings brimming with love.  Party goers piled their plates more than once with most excitedly exclaiming “This is so good!” between bites of their chosen delicacies.
Most important, spice the whole thing up with friendships, new and old. For good measure throw in some  hugs, handshakes and hearty laughter.
