A beloved tradition is returning to our neighborhood thanks to the crew of Atlanta Fire Station 27’s B shift! Those of you who are longtime residents will remember seeing the sign outside the station when the firefighters would invite children and their families to come inside, hear a story, and tour the station and fire trucks. Thanks to Captain O’Toole and his crew, that tradition will continue beginning on Wednesday, April 29 from 6-7pm. The event is designed for kids 2-8 but all siblings are welcome! Come and get to know our neighborhood firefighters and help revive this wonderful tradition. |

February Security Patrol Report |
|
|
|
|
During February we had one burglary reported, at an abandoned house in the 4000 block of Conway Valley. This compares to 2 thefts, from autos reported at Whitewater Creek Park and from a landscaper’s truck on Hillside, in February 2025. Security Patrol Statistics
Security Reminders MPNCA members receive daily house checks when they are out of town, which provides great peace of mind. Our officers walk the perimeter of your home daily to ensure there are no issues. If there are packages left on the front porch, the security team will move them someplace less obvious. This is one more example of the MPNCA offering terrific value to the neighborhood for 41 years and counting! To request security checks from the MPNCA Security Patrol at your home, please call or text 404-538-8946 or email security@mtparannorthside.com. This service is only available to MPNCA members. We should always be aware of our surroundings and watch out for each other as a community. If you have any questions, please reach out to the security team. We are stronger together, and the MPNCA serves all of us! You can reach our on-duty security officer with questions or concerns by phone or text at 404-538-8946, or by emailing security@mtparannorthside.com. Additional Safety Information
