For me, this fabulous fall weather comes with the craving for a warm Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks in the mornings.The aroma of the pumpkin and fall flavors gives me the coziest feeling and makes me long for a day off to play outside in the changing foliage and cool, but sun-filled afternoons.

Since, I am stuck inside working on the Allen and McKinney issues, I figured I'd use this time to remind you to pick up your FREE copy of neighborsgo the next time you decided to stop in for a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks.

neighborsgois now available every Friday in Starbucks. (Originally, when we went to a Friday publication date, they weren't delivered there until Saturday.)

Visit http://tinyurl.com/starbucksngo to find the latest list of Starbucks that carry us.

PS: If you don't find the current issue of neighborsgo at your Starbucks locations, please e-mail me at lirvin@neighborsgo.com.

Guess what folks?

Allen Mayor, Steve Terrell, is now a neighborsgo contributor!

In fact, his first contribution to Allen neighborsgo will appear in the Oct. 3 Business Issue, which will be delivered to your door (and Allen Starbucks locations) tomorrow morning.

The mayor plans to write a letter to you each month (as long as his schedule allows), keeping you informed and up-to-date on the latest insider news from the City of Allen. 

Who better to do that than the mayor himself?!

Check out the inaugural Business Issue Friday, Oct. 3 and make sure to turn to PAGE 5 for the Letter from the Mayor.
