BNA Flickr Group
BNA Park's Chair Chris Kahle has started a Flickr group called Bridlemile Neighborhood Association at the very fun and addictive Flickr photo sharing website. Flickr is another great place to post and share your photos of activities, people, buildings, or nature in the neighborhood. Be sure to include "Bridlemile" as one of the tags you assign to your Bridlemile Flickr photos.
