BEAUTIFYING WHISKEY CREEK, ONE ROCK AT A TIME
Since 2019, the Grimes family has been proud to call Whiskey Creek home, but their roots in the neighborhood run even deeper. Megan grew up here, and she and her husband always envisioned raising their children in the very community that shaped her own childhood. “Between how safe we feel and the curb appeal of so many homes, what is not to like?” Megan says.
Their love for the neighborhood is not just something they speak about, it is something they pour their time and energy into. After months of digging, hauling, planting, and transforming their outdoor space, the Grimes family has been named this month’s well-deserved Yard of the Month winners. And it turns out, a green thumb runs in the family: Megan’s parents received the same honor in 2019. A true legacy of beautification!
However, this recognition is about more than just a beautiful yard. What truly makes the Grimes family stand out is the way they embody the values of community that defines Whiskey Creek.
“We love the sense of community. The neighbors here really take the time to get to know you and look out for one another.”
They are also passionate about neighborhood traditions. The Halloween Festival and the Christmas Parade are annual highlights for the entire family; memories in the making for their children and a continuation of beloved community customs. When asked what advice they would offer a new resident, Megan’s response was simple and heartfelt: “Get to know your neighbors and community.” It is that kind of genuine, neighborly spirit that makes the Grimes family not just Yard of the Month winners, but Neighbors of the Month, as well.
Congratulations to the Grimes family at 1328 Chalon Lane, and thank you for helping make Whiskey Creek such a beautiful and welcoming place to live!
Know someone who deserves the spotlight? We want to celebrate more incredible neighbors, not just for their landscaping, but for everything they bring to our community. Whether they have lived here for decades, work in an inspiring profession, give back through volunteering, or simply make the neighborhood a friendlier place, we would love to hear their story.
