From the Desk of Former Mayor Malinda Miles

It has been two years since I decided to remove myself from the political scene in Mount Rainier, MD, Prince George's County, and the State of Maryland. Holding the lofty position of Mayor was such a great honor, but as the years flew by, I realized that it was time to do something else -- get a life.! I did, and still continue to provide resources to the residents through The Front Porch Ministries (TFPM). Real people pass through The Front Porch Ministries weekly. LIFE is good.

Have YOU visited Mount Rainier's Bike Coop?

Just in case you are NOT aware of one of the jewels in Mount Rainier, I would like to introduce you to the Mount Rainier Bike Coop.

The Bike Coop has been around a few years and is housed on Bunker Hill Road. It is run by volunteers who are dedicated to keeping the doors open.

Most of the bikes that they build are donated to children or adults who need a bike. They also teach others how to build or work on a bike. Matt C did this video that I think says it all.

If you have not visited the Bike Coop and you have been thinking about a bike, check out this video.

Mayor Malinda Miles

As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents. It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved. It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces. I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible. This BLOG is another effort to reach out to the residents of Mount Rainier.
