June Monsoons Bring Fresh Blooms

It's so nice to see Uptown blooming with color everywhere. The building at the corner of Ainslie and Sheridan has its usual stunning flower boxes on display....



... and even the drive-through at Mickey D's gets into the act.

  3. Also, the beast hates flowers and grass. In her twisted mind, both are elistest

  5. Uptown once was the crown jewel of the No.Side.Why has it been allowed to decay?No true consensus or leadership in keeping it beautiful and affordable.Who's running against Helen? It's time for Uptown to shine again.

  6. There's been that story around for years that Shiller rebuked a neighbor for planting flowers because it leads to gentrification and drives out the poor. However, it's become something of an urban legend at this point. Does anyone know who the supposed neighbor(s?) actually was or when this happened?

  7. Thanks for featuring our building not once but twice with the photo from last year in the flower boxes link. Glad to bring joy to the neighbors and neighborhood. If you see us in the yard say hi and thank you.
