/* 3920 Mystic River Park — independent owner site
   Redesign preview v2: clean "civic/association" look — white centered masthead,
   uppercase letter-spaced horizontal nav, deep-navy panels and bands, heavy sans headlines.
   Plain CSS, no frameworks, no external requests.
   Headline font: Open Sans (SIL OFL 1.1, self-hosted — see fonts/OFL.txt).
   Body font: Helvetica / Arial system stack. */
