Dear Neighbors, We are planning a Halloween costume parade and contest at the Highland Park fountain on Saturday, October 31st from 3:30 p.m. until about 5:00 p.m. The kids can show off their costumes while parading around the fountain and parents can take photos. We'll be giving out prizes in various categories & don't worry, every child will get a prize! We will provide pizza and drinks so you don't have to worry about having time to feed the kids before heading out for trick or treating. If it rains, well, we'll get back to you on that...

No clue of city policy, but apparently there is a city graffiti task force, if you call 311, they send you a form to fill out. I have had no success calling 311, but that's what's been passed on.

[Highland Park] Moving boxes
by Emily Lilly 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Wow! The response to my offer of some boxes has been overwhelming! I have enough people to take all of what I have, plus every single box that I have yet to unpack--and then some! Since my boxes are all spoken for, and there seems to be a real need for them, I will gladly share some hard-won info on good sources of moving materials. STUFF TO BUY: U-Haul: --They have a box buy-back policy; any unused box can be returned for a refund. Handy if you buy boxes and don't know how many you will need. Good source of dishpacks. --They have the world's BEST PACKING TAPE!!! I can't emphasize it enough. --They carry this funky plastic wrap wand, which is great for tying up loose ends (literally) of things like area rugs, salt shakers, plastic shelving units, etc. --They have taken the "Take a Penny, Leave a Penny" concept to the next level--free used boxes are sometimes available Home Depot: --Their boxes are flimsy and cheap; perfectly fine if that is what you are aiming for! They do not generally have dishpacks. --Their packing paper is great! Cheaper and _better_ than the U-Haul paper. FREE STUFF: Liquor stores: --Alcohol boxes make perfect book boxes; drop by in person, and if none are immediately available, offer to come back at a time that is convenient for them. Walmart, etc: --Big box stores (_especially_ Walmart) take night-time deliveries virtually every night; call the store after 8 pm, and ask for the Overnight Deliveries Manager. Specifically ask for some number of boxes (50, 70, 100, whatever) and absolutely mention that you want small to medium boxes, because if you don't, you'll get flimsy huge boxes which won't help you at all. The pick-up time is likely to be 7 or 8 am; be prompt, or they'll pitch them. Walmart has the _best_ boxes, every night; places like Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond, etc, are also good bets. Egg cartons: --Paper egg cartons make the _best_ protective material at the bottom of your fragile boxes, and stuffed between fragile items. Just tear to the size you need! We had 4 months forewarning before moving, and we saved all of our egg cartons (and we go through a dozen eggs per day). They rocked! If you can't collect enough egg cartons fast enough, I'm sure you have neighbors who will be glad to pitch in on your efforts! I've got the list of names, in the order received, and they will (hopefully) all be able get some of my boxes. Good luck to all in their boxing quest! --Emily King Ave

Re: [Highland Park] Graffiti on the park entrance
by Becky Mercatoris 31 Oct '09

Hi everyone, I also saw the new graffitti this morning and it really is an eyesore. I don't have any information on the actually graffitti itself, but I did report it to the city via the iburgh app. It would be great if others could report it to the city as well. Maybe it will be removed soon.

There is also some recent graffiti inside the bus stop at the apartment building on N. St. Clair. This morning there were beer cans there, as well. Mary Anne Papale
