Millie Kauffman and Adorable Baby Clothing All About Second Chances

We welcome Millie Kauffman and her newest venture, Adorable Baby Clothing, to the neighborhood!

Adorable Baby Clothing (ABC) is our neighborhood's newest consignment shop. Clean and colorful clothes, shoes and toys are curated for children from infant to 5T. Designer brands and store brands alike fill the racks. Truly, the shop is stunning. 


Millie Kauffman, owner, believes in second chances. ABC is not just a store which gives clothing a second chance, it is also a reflection of her own victories in life that gave her a second chance to do what she really wanted to do. 


Millie put much thought into the space. The room is bright and cheery. Beautiful birds, butterflies and other whimsical designs adorn the shelves and walls. Everything from her choice in design to the quality of clothing is testimony to the idea that she wanted to create a place where she would have no regrets shopping for her own grandchildren.    

Second chances abound at ABC. The redesigned interior is a welcome improvement to our neighborhood's stock of retail space. The clothing is secondhand, reusing clothes is an economical alternative to throwing them out. Even the gift bags are made from recyclable materials.  
   
Since ABC opened shop on the corner of North Shippen Street and East New Street on March 24th, Millie has met many neighbors who have found beautiful clothes for their loved little ones. 

ABC is open Tuesday through Friday 10 am to 5 pm and Saturday 10 am to 3 pm. The shop is conveniently located along RRTA bus routes 2 and 5. Of course, most neighbors could easily walk to the store. ABC accepts Visa, Mastercard and Discover.

UGI Partners with Neighbors United to Bring Shade Trees to the City

UGI has committed to making our neighborhood a greener place with the gift of shade trees. Together, we are committed to making our city a safer, greener and cleaner place to live. As a part of our community, UGI wants to help too. Through quality of life improvements, such as planting shade trees, we will all breathe more easily and have a more enjoyable walk.     

Walk or drive down any of our streets and you will find numerous opportunities to plant shade trees: empty tree wells, long stretches of hot sidewalk, yards with scorched, brown grass. 

Did you know that a single shade tree can prevent 3440 gallons of water from entering our city's combined sewer system each year? In addition, trees provide shade, reduce heating and cooling costs, improve air quality, reduce noise and increase property values. 

Recently, the Lancaster County Conservancy with our neighbor Kristen Thomas, PA Master Naturalist candidate, set out to take an inventory of our shade trees.  The Lancaster County Conservancy is tasked with increasing Lancaster City's tree canopy from 28% to 40%. 

Once we've identified potential locations to plant beautiful shade trees, we will ask our neighbors to plant a tree in front of their home. Often, the cost of planting a shade tree is a concern. Fortunately, UGI joined us at the perfect time. UGI's partnership with Neighbors United and the Lancaster City Alliance provides the necessary funding to follow through with our commitment to make Lancaster City a greener place.
