MERIDIAN PLACE UPDATE.  The official groundbreaking ceremony was this week, and the new signs are up. Demolition of the old Silver Oaks apartments is under way, and construction of the new M Station apartments will begin right away, taking 12-18 months to complete.

Neighborhood focus groups, when asked what grocery store they'd like to see at Meridian Place, overwhelmingly said Trader Joe's was their number one choice. Want to support bring Trader Joe's to our community?  Click here.
