"Simplicity's furniture was beautiful, high quality, affordable, and designed to fit through our tight townhouse staircases. That would have been enough for us, but they insisited on giving us the most amazing customer service we've seen in a long time. We'll definetly buy from them again!"

Trinity Vicinity is beautiful. Keeping it that way requires beautification!
Well, at least we think that’s a word. Nevertheless, a neighborhood is only as pretty as the residents make it. So we like to tend our gardens, sweep our sidewalks, and keep it looking great. You’ll find a lot of talent and creativity behind the Landscaping Committee’s works. Contact them at landscaping@trinityvicinity.org.

2010 City of Wilmington Garden Contest Winners!
The 1000 block of North Monroe took first place in the “Garden Block” category of the Delaware Center for Horticulture’s city wide 2010 garden competition! Fay Voshel was the block captain for the endeavor. Thanks to all who helped make our block beautiful this year. It was a hot, dry summer, and it was not easy to keep things looking fresh, but the street never looked better. Fay Voshell also won first place in the “Flower Garden” category.

Again, thanks to all the neighbors who pitched in to help!

Neighborhood Safety Tips:
– Keep an eye out! If you see something suspicious, report it!
– Ask the police to increase patrols of your neighborhood.
– Sponsor a Neighborhood Watch.
– Be sure the outside doors of your home have strong deadbolt locks.
– Keep spare keys with a trusted neighbor or nearby shopkeeper, not under a doormat or planter, on a ledge, or in the mailbox.
– Make sure nothing in your car appeals to thieves. Even small tote bags and loose change can encourage break-ins.
– Illuminate or eliminate places an intruder might hide: the spaces between trees or shrubbery, stairwells, alleys, hallways, and entryways.
– Set timers on lights when you’re away from home so it appears to be occupied.
– Organize neighborhood cleanup days to send the message that your community is closed to thieves, vandals, and loiterers.
– Installing cameras in the neighborhood can prevent various crime activity from occurring. Please refer to this link on how to purchase a security camera if interested.
