There’s a new kid on the block – and neighbors want to meet her. Four-month-old Gianna Whitley greets neighbors as her parents, mom Isabella (right) and dad Larry, stroll her down Noyes Street. “Melinda loves to make her smile,” say Isabella of Melinda Shanklin (left). “Right now, she is hearing different noises.” Joining her are Kathleen Maher (from left), Sue Ryder and Carol Nielsen. The Whitleys moved to Evanston last year. “We came here because of the diversity,” Isabella said. (Photo by Richard Cahan)
