ROSE CDC Has Big Plans For Wikman Building
I’m not sure when I made the switch from pronouncing it “arr-let-ah
“to “arr-leet-ah.“ It sort of happened without my noticing, but I suspect it

Alleyway Gets Some Attention From Caring Neighbors
The alleyway between 63rd and 64th at Foster Rd. used to be home to a beautiful mural. Unfortunately it became the target of repeated grafitti and it was painted over. With hopes of reducing or eliminating the neglect of this location, a group of friends from the neighborhood has decided to undertake an improvement project. The group also hopes to remove invasive species and encourage increased stewardship of the under-used common land. If you’d like more information on how you can get involved and support their efforts, contact the Mt. Scott-Arleta Neighborhood Association at msananews@gmail.com.
