[Highland Park] Raynold's Restaurant
by Susan Ryan 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

I was driving down Bryant St. last night and noticed lights and activity on the ground floor of the former Raynold's or Reynold's restaurant (across from Smiling Banana Leaf). Does anyone know what is developing there? Let's home something great for Bryant St. and the neighborhood! Another unrelated thing: I was at the King Estate sledding hill last week and noticed about 5 plastic garbage bin lids which must have been used by kids. If you are missing a lid this might be a place to look.

[Highland Park] "beware"
by Pat Glenhilski 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Dear neighbors, Alert! *NeNe*, my service parrot, drew my "attention" to our starboard window this morning with a small commotion. I looked out and observed two young white girls who appeared to be casing the cars on the street, in the neighborhood of Highland Park. They were looking into "all" of the windows, under the auspices of checking their makeup and hair. One wore glasses, the other, boots. *NeNe* was making such a commotion, and caught the attention of the doxy in the glasses. When she looked up and saw us, she knew she'd been caught. They left in a jiffy. There seems to be a neighborhood trend of keeping car doors "unlocked" (is this the young carefree and casual approach to car ownership these days?), so let this be another omen... the streets are not safe. your neighbor, Pat Glenhilski

Two guys on top of the neighbor's low roof, thwarted by a neighbor who saw them and called the police. They ran down my driveway to a waiting car. We were at the movies. Police came right away and walked around with flashlights. Across from the Farmhouse, -- Ruth E Hendricks
