Summary

 RG 118 contains bits of history of the Parkway Citizens Association dating from before World War II until the last decade of the 20th Century. The Association, first known as the Maywood-Woodmont Improvement League, and later as the Thrifton Village Improvement League, took its present name in 1943. Among the major concerns of the Association during these years were zoning issues including development of the Hendry Tract, uses of the Woodmont school building, the redesign of Lorcom Lane, community development and security, airport traffic and noise, and the building of Route I-66.

 

Note:  Parkway changed its name to Woodmont Civic Association in 2001.
