Aurora 911 has a very important and potentially life-saving message for all of us – don’t hang up! Many of us are apparently doing just that when we don’t get through right away, but it could actually delay help from getting to us. We’ll explain how the system works, and show you how you can become a part of this vital team. The Aurora Police Department is also hiring and offering a big bonus, plus help with moving costs. March 8^th is Alice Lee Main Day in Aurora. We’ll take a look at the many cultural contributions this living legend has made to our city from The Aurora Fox to the Aurora History Museum and even our Art in Public Places program, and wish you had a green thumb? Aurora Water shows you how to get a colorful, money and water-saving yard, courtesy of Garden in a Box, and the city’s popular Pothole of the Month program is back. Find out how to nominate your pesky problem and win. Those stories and much more this week on Aurora Now.
