Any of us who have lived around here for any prolonged period of time have noticed the baby boom in our area. I've seen it here in Trinidad, over in Rosedale, down in Near Northeast, & (obviously) in the larger Capitol Hill north area.

Multiple readers have written in asking me to let readers know about the upcoming MOTH (Moms On The Hill event. Details appear below:
MOTH FAMILY FEST ANNOUNCED FOR SEPTEMBER 14TH
