About Peter Maclennan

I moved to Dana Estates with my family in 2012. We love the neighborhood. We love that it is relatively quiet, the neighbors are friendly, and the trees that line the street.
If we aren't hanging out at Starbucks or buying a pizza from P-za Pie, you will find us cruising the sidewalks near Lynwood and Beechwood Dr. Feel free to stop me and say hello.
