The Wyoming food and entertainment scene
is about to go up a notch as the dynamic sister team of Caitlin
Steininger and Kelly Trush – owners of CWC, the Restaurant – and their business partner, Karen
Klaus, prepare to open their newest restaurant at 400 Wyoming Avenue – Station Family + BBQ.

Planned to open in late 2018, Station Family + BBQ will be a casual-concept restaurant designed
around traditional barbecue-style food and a family-friendly, community-oriented atmosphere
that will offer flexible options for guests. There will be outdoor as well as indoor dining, plus the
option of take-out food packaged with blanket/picnic supplies, so diners can enjoy the adjoining
Village Green for a picnic meal.

Wyoming is fortunate to have a series of channels
and creeks running through the community
to control storm water run-off. Some of these
features have names such as Cilley, Vale, and
Ritchie Creeks – while many others are unnamed.
These channels and creeks ultimately drain to
the Mill Creek. If your yard backs up to a creek
or a significant drainage feature, remember
your downstream neighbors when identifying
a location in your yard to place a compost pile,
wood pile, or an area to place yard waste or other
items or debris. Do not place these items on or
near the banks of the creek or other significant
drainage feature. During heavy rains, run-off
water and rising creeks can cause items to be
washed away and to possibly clog or damage
downstream culverts and bridges – leading to
localized flooding and other problems. It is
also important for property owners to maintain
the integrity of any retaining walls that have
been placed along the stream banks on their
properties so that components of these walls do
not become dislodged and swept downstream.
In an effort to better protect these creeks the City
of Wyoming adopted a set of Stream Corridor
Regulations several years ago. These regulations
are intended to not only protect stream quality,
they are intended to also enhance public safety
by minimizing flooding and potential property
damage. Remember to be considerate of your
downstream neighbors and the environment.
