resident reminders
Elevator Etiquette a friendly reminder for our residents Please avoid holding the elevator doors open. It’s better to step out and finish your conversation, allowing the elevator to continue. Holding the doors repeatedly can trigger the alarm, and this may cause problems with the elevator’s programming, leading to a shutdown and requiring a reset. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated to help things run smoothly!
Underground Parking friendly reminders Our garage parking spaces are for vehicles that belong to our residents only. We do not allow any storage to be kept in your designated parking space. All personal items must be stored properly in designated storage areas only. Thank you for keeping our garage clutter-free.
Common Area Expectations a friendly reminder for our residents The common areas and hallways of our communities are shared spaces enjoyed by all. As a friendly reminder, please be mindful of the following when in the common areas: Avoid behavior that could create a nuisance such as playing, loitering, loud noises, offensive conduct, inappropriate attire (please have shoes and appropriate street attire on at all times), or playing music without headphones. If you have any questions about what is, or is not allowed, in the common areas, please refer to your lease, or contact the Resident Services Office for more information.

Packages PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE ITEMS FROM THE MAIL ROOM THAT DO NOT BELONG TO YOU Although we appreciate your good intentions when distributing your neighbors' packages to their doors, this causes issues with the delivery companies tracking a missing package.

Back Then In History
Ingredients 4 chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds) 2 cups grape tomatoes 1 shallot, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 3 sprigs thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme 1/2 cup feta, crumbled 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp Italian seasoning 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 2 tbsp parsley, chopped (for garnish)
On February 14, 1968—fittingly Valentine’s Day—the first successful U.S. heart transplant was performed in Houston, Texas, by Dr. Denton Cooley. The recipient, a 47-year-old man, lived for over 200 days following the procedure. This medical milestone marked the beginning of a new era in cardiac care and innovation. Today, heart transplants continue to save lives around the world thanks to the groundbreaking efforts of early pioneers in transplant medicine.
Fun Facts About Leap Year
Healthy and delicious!
most popular nicknames in the united states
Leap years exist to keep our calendars in sync with Earth's orbit. It takes Earth about 365.242 days to orbit the sun, so adding an extra day every four years—February 29—helps correct that small fraction. But not all years divisible by 4 are leap years! Century years must also be divisible by 400 to qualify. That’s why 1900 wasn’t a leap year, but 2000 was. Without leap years, seasons would slowly drift, eventually throwing our calendars out of whack!
Shelf Indulgence this month's book recommendation
Step 1: Mix the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, shallot, thyme, and half of the feta in the bottom of a 9x13 Pyrex baking dish or similar. STEP 2: Make room for the chicken breasts and lay them in a single layer without touching. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian (or Greek) seasoning. STEP 3: Bake at 375°F for about 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. STEP 4: Top with remaining feta and bake an additional 3–4 minutes to melt.
