summer has sprung

One of the things that clearly marks summer for me is the sound of giggles and roars from the neighborhood kids as I sit outside on my patio as the sun sets. It is so reminiscent of my childhood and the fond memories I have of playing Capture the Flag and Kick the Can late into the evenings of July and August. Kids truly have abandon as they run circles around the yard or in the park and squeal as their sibling or friend intercepts them with a friendly tickle or "tag, you're it!" I just love it! Then as quickly as they come out to play, they disappear into their homes to settle into bed, and the calm, serene peacefulness of the beautiful central Oregon nights takes over. Bliss.

BUILDER magazine Features NorthWest Crossing

We were so pleased to be featured in a recent issue of BUILDER magazine, a national trade publication that provides information to the home building industry. The article, entitled “Tree-Lined Green: NorthWest Crossing in Bend, Ore. Takes sustainability beyond building green”, covered many of the features of the place we call home such as retention of mature trees, community design and more.

BUILDER magazine is a monthly magazine published by Hanley Wood Business Media. It was launched in 1979. It reports on construction industry related technologies, economics, management, business opportunities, architectural design, and sales and marketing. It mainly focuses on builders, contractors and more. www.builderonline.com

One heck of a Hullabaloo!

Hullabaloo week at NorthWest Crossing was fabulous! It started with the neighborhood summer concert series "Twilight Tunes" at Compass Park, then the USA Cycling Junior Road National Crit races, and ended with a rockin' concert by Jonatha Brooke. The NorthWest Crossing residents really provided a warm welcome and rolled out the red carpet for the Junior racers and their families, in addition to 1000s of visitors who descended upon NorthWest Crossing Drive for the third annual street festival that is now an official kick off to summer! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the sunshine, the warm weather, the summer season and the community!
