[Highland Park] armed robbery
by Janna Eversmeyer 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

This is to alert everyone that our son was the victim of an armed robbery about 9:00 PM this evening (Sunday March 29) at the corner of North Euclid and Wellesley Avenue. Three young African American men (aged 18-23, roughly), riding bicycles and wearing dark clothing, approached him and asked if he wanted to buy drugs. When he said no, one of them put a gun to his head and took his wallet, keys, and cell phone, then they rode away. Our son was not hurt. We'd like everyone to keep a lookout for these people and, above all, be careful. Mike and Janna Eversmeyer

Through a story better left untold, I have an extra pair of tickets for the Wednesday, April 1, appearance by David Sedaris at the Benedum. (Not an April Fool's joke, I promise.) They are great seats in the Orchestra LC, Row C. $42 each. Can anyone use them? Let me know. Thanks. Susan Blackman susan.blackman(a)verizon.net 412.687.8777

[Highland Park] Re: Vandalism

We were also "tagged" with spray paint sometime between 6:30 p.m. and 9:20 a.m. on Saturday night/Sunday morning -- only it was my mom's car, which was parked in our carport overnight. We contacted the police, who responded nicely and made thorough documentation of the vandalism up and down the alley behind our house (Velie Way). We also urge our neighbors to let the police know of any information they may have.

We have had so many kind inquiries and good wishes, it has been a great lift to our spirits. I should have added in my original posting that we did of course immediately call the police, who took a thorough report less than 10 minutes after the incident occurred. And we have already changed our locks! Many thanks to everybody, and let's look out for one another! Mike and Janna Eversmeyer
