[Highland Park] unnecsessary honking explained
by Karen Littleton 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Thank you to all of you that took the time to explain/share your own experiences. It seems that there are equal numbers of people who have and have not experienced this strange habit of "honking" every time you arrive home. The majority of people agreed that it very rude and totally unnecessary. Most people suggested that it may be the way that some families "announce that they are home" to their small children. I still find this to be very unnecessary, why not just call them rather than disturb the entire street? I may decide to approach these neighbors, or hhopefully they are regular readers of the listserve and will get the hint. I addition, I had many people tell me to get ready for the lawn chairs that will line the streets with the first snow...are you kidding? And people make fun of New Jersey!!!! Thanks again!

by Difranza, Francine 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Both are full High-Definition, 1080p. Both are 47". Both are in excellent condition. Excellent picture and sound quality on each television. I am upgrading to 55" internet ready televisions so I need to sell these first. One is a VIZIO and the other is a SCEPTRE. The SCEPTRE has 4 HDMI ports. I am not sure if the VIZIO has 3 or 4 HDMI ports. I am asking $625 each. Cash only and all sales final. Once the tv leaves my house, it is yours! I only sell quality electronics so I know their condition when they leave my house and as I said, they are EXCELLENT. Please email me if interested. Thanks!
