Independent Neighborhood News & Talking Points
Thankful to Live in WG

Of course … 
And it was awfully nice of the SJ Mercury News to put together the “Where We Live: Willow Glen” edition this past weekend. It’s a good collection of in-depth articles about the history and culture of your neighborhood. As the website developer and online host for the Willow Glen Foundation, WGMS PTA, and WG PAGE (among many other WG Members), WGx especially appreciates the article about “Parents winning battle to bring students back to Willow Glen public schools.”
And the interactive photo collage is really quite amazing. It includes additional pictures that were not published in the print edition, including more PAL Soccer pictures taken at a recent Saturday game day at River Glen Park.
