Spring is on its way! Mild weather with just enough rain to coax the plants and grass out of the ground, and sunshine that lasts longer each day is already giving us ideas about getting out to enjoy spring and summer. A sure sign of spring is the number of runners and walkers we see out on the streets of Beverly/Morgan Park. We hope they’re training for the 35th Annual Ridge Run on Memorial Day! Kids are being signed up for soccer and baseball. Homeowners are already starting on their yard work. Business owners are enjoying a surge in local shopping through the March Deals of the Day organized by BAPA, the 95th Street Business Association and the Morgan Park/Beverly Hills Business Association. BAPA is working on its 42nd Annual Beverly Hills/Morgan Park Home Tour on Sunday, May 20. What’s your favorite part of spring in the neighborhood? Send us your thoughts at bapa@bapa.org.
