I made from minor updates on the New Eastside Discussion board including adding a logo at the top and I removed some sections including "Key Stats" and the News block which I thought were distracting and not adding much to the look of the site. Hopefully it is a little less "busy" for new visitors. I have also added a Recent Posts block at the bottom. Click here to register and join in the action.

I also made a post on this board asking for suggestions from the experts.. what do you...

I put up a new home page for New-Eastside.com, the old one was just a couple of text links. This past Sunday my wife and I went out with the baby and I snapped a ton photos around the neighborhood.

I thought it might be fun to have a trivia contest where you try to match 10 photos with locations on a map of the neighborhood.. for instance the Elevator image above. Maybe I will have that ready next weekend :-).

I have had a lot of fun learning and reading Bill Ward's New Eastside Forum site -- http://www.neweastside.org. There is extensive information on Pedway development over the years (a key interest of mine and most other residents of course!) and must more information. The site has had 20,000 visits since 2000 and you can sign up for e-mail notifications of updates. I believe Bill Ward lives in 155 N. Harbor (my wife and daughter and I live in the building next door). Anyway, just wanted to point...
