So what do you think?

Now that this blog has been mentioned in the neighborhood newsletter and talked about at the LEHHNA meeting, we hope that people will begin to contribute ideas, stories, memories and suggestions. Just click on the word "comments" below and tell us what you think.

Or answer one of these questions:
■ Do you remember any natural events (hurricanes, freezes, floods, droughts, etc.) that affected the neighborhood?
■ Any major citywide, statewide, national or international events that profoundly affected the community?

It will be interesting to see how our neighborhood contributed to the region's citrus industry. Though Summerlin did raise cattle to the east side, there were many groves; as land was parceled-off the Robinson family started groves west and north in the neighborhood.

During a recent search for a school project, it was discovered in Sanborn Maps, (old insurance maps), that up until the early 1900s, there were still small commercial groves from Magnolia to Ruth.

Another discovery was parcel ids for property in the neighborhood have a numbering system that would indicate some of the earliest parcel "subdivisions" used for the devlopment of the current dense residential pattern that defines our neighborhood.

It can be construed that our neighborhood is the oldest in the city.
