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.

Better Block Project a SUCCESS!

Jan Townshend Took an idea, and made it a reality on 34th Street in Mount Rainier MD. After seeing a better block project, Jan thought it would be a way to showcase Mount Rainier's 34th Street, and encourage potential new businesses to see what could be on 34th Street. And, just like everyone who lives in Mount Rainer knows, OUR businesses and residents came out in full support of this major effort.

Thank you to everyone that took a part in making this happen. Mount Rainier pride could be seen every where. We know the jewel we live in, and we take every opportunity to showcase our business base, vacant space, and potential business place! You did us PROUD, and we looked GOOD.

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.
