• Two cats at the Taco Bell by the Northport neighborhood Walmart.
  One is black, the other is white with black patches. They were not interested in coming near me, but did not bolt either. (Nextdoor Northwood Lake)
• I really feel that Northwood Lake Dr W would benefit greatly with sidewalks on both sides and adequate drainage for rain water flowing down hill.
  Large amounts of rain during the summer erodes my property tremendously. (Nextdoor Northwood Lake)
