White Rock Marathon – Sunday Dec 4th.
The White Rock Marathon will be winding its way through Lower Greenville on Sunday December 4th. The route goes down Matilda, up Swiss Avenue and back across Ellsworth. As longtime residents know, this boxes in our neighborhood and makes getting in and out very challenging for the day. Please be prepared for delays.
Concerns about Coyotes
Many of our members have expressed concern about the sightings of wild animals such as coyotes and foxes and reports of pet mutilations in our area. This photo of a pair of foxes was taken in the alley behind the 5100 block of Vanderbilt.
Greenland Hills Neighborhood Association has extended an invitation to a joint meeting on Tuesday, December 13, at 7:00 p.m. at Unity Church on Greenville @ McCommas. The speaker from 911wildlife.com will give information about ways to eliminate foxes and coyotes and how to keep pets safe. Vickery Place NA and Wilshire Heights NA have also been invited. Parking is limited, so allow yourself a little extra time.
