A sense of community in Uptown

My friend Kaleigh, an Uptown resident and fellow Rhodes grad, writes a blog called The Musings of Yet Another Working Mom. She and her husband and two kids bought a house in Uptown two years ago, and today she wrote a great post about the changes that are happening in the neighborhood. Her blog is one to keep an eye on… we hear about what’s going on in Uptown in Henry Turley’s press releases, but this is an opportunity to find out about the neighborhood from someone who’s there, living it.

She’s also starting an Uptown book club. Check her blog for more details about that. The first book is about the collapse and rebuilding of American community, and will be discussed the last week of October, right before the second annual Uptown Chili Smackdown.

If you decide you like Kaleigh’s writing and you like to cook, check out her other blog, Another Working Mom Cooks, too. She’s in a rather unique position of cooking for two family members who are vegetarians and two who are not, and lucky enough to have children who like to eat healthy.
