[Highland Park] APX Security
by Rob Nichols 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hi Neighbors, I live in the 800 block of N. Saint Clair Street and was accosted on my front porch by an APX security "salesperson" last night. I didn't hear him ring the doorbell and just happened to be heading out of the house to walk the dogs at about 7 pm when I noticed him on my porch. He went into his spiel about APX Security, the special deal they were offering, yada yada yada. Basically I just told the guy that I was obviously headed out to walk the dogs and asked him if he could leave a brochure in my mailbox. He said that he didn't have a brochure. Scam, scam, scam!!! He walked on down the street toward Stanton, didn't stop at any of my neighbors' houses. I will check tonight to see if I've been marked with a red X anywhere. These guys are scam artists. Don't fall for their con. Check out the following: http://www.ripoffreport.com/searchresults.asp?q5=apx&Search=Search&q1=ALL&q… Cheers, Rob Nichols

[Highland Park] HVAC & Concrete Work
by Barbara Dickson-Valcheff 27 May '09

27 May '09

To maximize efficiency and reduce energy waste, experts recommend annual servicing of a/c units. Before the severely hot weather is upon us, I can recommend my HVAC person, who also does small concrete work as well!

[Highland Park] perhaps it's a plague house...
by Valerie Sweeney 27 May '09

27 May '09

There was another red X marked on my sidewalk this morning. I scrubbed that one off, too. Because I have nothing better to do, I wandered up and down my street - there were several similar Xs marked on a couple different houses in the 900-1100 blocks of N Euclid. Gas company uses blue spray paint, Duq Light uses orange. This is red crayon/chalk. I am posting here, because again it doesn't seem like quite enough to call the police, but I am getting annoyed and creeped out. Does anyone in the neighborhood have any idea at all what this is about? Maybe there's just some adventurous child roaming the neighborhood having fun with grown-ups? Thanks for putting up with my minor obsession, but I'd love an answer.

[Highland Park] chickens on Black St.
by Meg Reilly 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hello, I remember some discussion a while ago about the chickens on Black St. and some issue about who would feed them once school is out. I'd be willing to feed them if no one else will do it. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks, Meg
