I love the NY Times crossword puzzles because of the unexpected word games sometimes embedded within them. So what's DEEF? DEEF in the across squares would be FEEDback, in the same sense that DEF in the down squares would be FEDup. And before the year is over, I thought I'd include a bit more of the feedback I've received. And no, I'm not fed up!
SENIOR LOUNGE:
I talked to my parents about the lounge issue here. They were kind of stunned. They spend so much time working/socializing at their senior center (in Fond du Lac) that they couldn't comprehend how you could have a functioning senior center without a lounge! My dad has spent a lot of time renovating theirs by putting in a pool room (pool tables, not swimming like I first thought!). It's a major part of their socialization. I just can't believe Shorewood made such a huge oversight when designing the current center.

Does this have to be seniors only? Would be a great place for everyone --maybe a bit of a coffee shop.
Though we are crawling with coffee shops having a truly public space would be beneficial to our culture.

ATWATER BLUFF
For the last two decades or so I have been removing invasives from Big Bay Park which is near Pandles. Many people stop and chat. I should keep a journal. Now we have butterflies and birds instead of burdock, garlic mustard and invasive thistles.

BIKE PATH
I've been following your blog, and I was wondering, what is your perception of how safe the bike trail is during the day when it's pretty deserted? I have been biking down to the lakefront and back at odd hours during the day instead of around lunchtime or after 5, and often I don't see anyone, or just one or two people, the whole way. Am I being risky?

INTRODUCTION DESCRIBING SHOREWOOD
It reminded me of just why I loved Shorewood so much and of how much I miss it now that I live in Milwaukee. I feel much the same about it, the charm is in the people you chat with and in the memories of places and people lost. I kind of cringe whenever there is talk of a major development project much like what is going on at the edge of Whitefish Bay/Glendale.
