For more than 40 years, the Truman Road Thriftway was a staple at Truman and Hardesty. A little over a year ago, the building was part of an aggressive development plan that would have brought a new grocery operation to the 3.3 acre site.

The folks at Forrest Financial Service have done it again – and in a very good way. Not so long ago, the Lykins Neighborhood wasn’t the greatest place to call home.

These days, an active neighborhood association coupled with some fantastic urban farming all points to some major league revitalization goin’ on!
In the heart of Lykins is this week’s
