The Greater Hidden Hills Overlay Project is coming along with lots of input from community members and great assistance from the DeKalb Planning along with the great vision from Jan Costello. I want to say I remember the spark that lite this flame and she and others in Hidden HIlls have been through the entire journey. My journey in search of a bagel brought me to a neighborhood that has a layout similar to what the Greater Hidden Hills Overlay is seeking to be--a neighborhood with shops, offic… Continue

I had an urge to eat a really good bagel. I hadn't had one in a long time. I didn't want a grocery store bagle, i.e. Lenders, or a frozen bagle that I have to put in the toaster, but a real bagel. If I had gotten up really early I could have gone to Kroger or Public's bakery and purchased one from them, but by the time I get there they are all gone and the choice is just not what I'm looking for. There's aren't as fresh as I wanted. I began my search and realized there is no place to get a reall… Continue

I study the Toyota style of management as well as Deming because Toyota is such a successful company coming from the lessons learned since Hiroshima.

Anyone who had those items did not have to truck them all the way to Memorial Drive, they could bring them to Biffle Park. The gentlemen handling these recycled items also gave a hand in cleaning up some areas and driving around the neighborho… Continue

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 the day the first African American President of the United States of America is to be sworn into office. An historic day that will be in the history books from now to eternity. As a Black woman I share in the proudness of the moment that Dr. Martin Luther King said "Free at Last; Free at Last..." and I am elated to know that dreams, prayers, success does come to those who work hard while they wait. I feel free today more than ever, I feel hope for my grandchildren that… Continue

Thank you for your confidence in me as your next President of the HHCA. I want to tell you a little bit about my style so that you might get to know me a little more. We will be together for the next two years and I am going to learn a lot about Hidden Hills and Hidden Hills will learn a lot about me. It's like a marriage. I work on a business model. My father held dual Masters degrees in engineering and always wanted one of his children, if not all of them, to follow in his footsteps. He taugh… Continue
