Editor's Note

July is a spectacular time to experience the peak energy of Forrestridge and surrounding areas.  As the mid-summer 
heat sets in, our neighborhood is in full swing with a vibrant, festive rhythm of our 250 year Nation's Celebration  You’ll likely see
plenty of pool days, firework celebrations, and families enjoying the long, warm
evenings under the stars. It is the perfect time of year to host a backyard barbecue, cool off with a refreshing drink, and appreciate the scenic charm and friendly spirit that make our community feel like home during the height of summer.  In this month's publication please meet Chris Rasmussen and Jill Jester, welcome to the neighborhood.  Travel with Terri recaps St. Augustine, Florida this month. There are a few historical areas we missed in our previous visit, back on the bucket list. Precious Pet features Winnie, Golden Retriever. Denton Bicycle Center is our Partner Spotlight this month.  We love our Denton Family Owned businesses.  Read about Bowen Regis, our featured Kid this month.   As you dive into this month’s issue, please take a moment to acknowledge the local businesses
featured throughout these pages. Their partnership is what allows STROLL Forrestridge to arrive at your door each month, filled with the stories that connect us all. When you are in need of professional services or local products this summer, we encourage you to look to these Spotlight on Our Resident Businesses.
We are also thrilled to continue our updated Resident Business Page. This section is
dedicated to highlighting the incredible entrepreneurial spirit right here in our own backyard. If you own a business and haven’t had a chance to share it with your fellow residents yet, please reach out—we would love to help your neighbors discover what you do!
Warm Regards,
Telese Gray.
