From Our Family to Yours

With so many things on the horizon, we wanted to make sure to guide you toward the warmer months a little sooner than Punxawtaney Phil may have predicted. While some of you may enjoy the cold weather and what it might bring with it, we think we all can agree it's time to focus on the summer sun —or at the very least, warmer weather.

Throughout this issue, we glimpse at what a change in seasons will bring throughout our great lake city. And we get an inside look at some of the moving pieces making our Great Lake coast a pretty awesome place to be now and in the coming months.

So many positive things are happening throughout Lorain, from new businesses joining old businesses under the same roof to plans unfolding following the demolition of parts of our past that stood before.

Everyone behind these moving parts is working together, and collectively, we are all helping to make our community a better place to be.

And the best part: It's just the beginning.

As we journey into spring and begin fully enjoying life here on the water, be sure to check out the improvements taking place all over town. Community arts programming is continuing downtown and beginning on the south side, and there is much more inspiration to follow.

From the waterfront to the south side and everywhere in between, we hope you enjoy exploring our great lake city on our Great Lake coast.

As always, stay safe and well, and remain Lorain proud!
