[Highland Park] Remodal
by Richard Kuroski 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hi, Well, the bathroom remodeling is finally done! Now all we have to do is clean up all the dust. That and sell the excess bead board. So, we have three brand new 4x8 sheets of 5/32" unfinished bead board. The 5/32", from Allegheny Millworks, is design to be glued over a sound wall. No nailing makes it easy to install. We paid $45 per sheet and are asking $25 per sheet. If you need to see what the bead board looks like installed and stained I'll send a pix. Rich and Bonnee

[Highland Park] Please Post ASAP: HIT & RUN on bryant street between 4:30-7:30 pm
by Jordann Friedman 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hello Neighbors, I'm emailing to ask for any assistance/information regarding my freshly damaged family vehicle. Between 4:30 pm (when I arrived home) and 7:30 pm (when my husband, who first realized the damage, got off of the bus on his way home from work) someone completely tore into the driver's side of our car---2 doors long! Thankfully, my car was empty--no injuries to report! The car is/was parked on Bryant Street between 5910 and the Bryant Street Market (and on the same side), almost directly in front of our home. I was inside my home caring for my son who has been having a tough time cutting his teeth and therefore didn't hear any impact/grinding noise as I was in the rear of our home. My car/wagon is dark blue in color and judging by the paint left along my driver's side, the other car is white/light in color. The tracks left by the other vehicle (which I also have pictures of) didn't show signs of stopping or sliding. The tracks are actually pretty clear indicating that this person swerved, hit, and dragged the body of their vehicle across the length of mine. This individual's car would also have to be relatively low/small as my side mirror was left undamaged. Do I even need to report that they didn't leave their information on my windshield? I'm now looking at a $500 deductible whereas if the person responsible had the moral fortitude and general community decency to leave their information (assuming, of course, that people obey the law of driving while insured) then it would just be a case of moderate inconvenience and not the deductible, rental car, missed work, etc. If you happen to see a smaller light-colored car with blue paint streaks across the passenger's side please let me know or better yet, jot down the plate number and send me an email. It takes a special person to produce this type of extensive damage to a "neighbor's" property and then keep on driving. Any information would be greatly appreciated and any communication will be treated as confidential should you desire anonymity. Take care, Jordann REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY This e-mail, attachments and contents are for the exclusive use of the addressee and other mentioned recipients and are confidential. If you are not the intended recipient, please notify me immediately by e-mail and delete this e-mail and its contents. Please, no forwards.

[Highland Park] the only computer game I play
by Jan McKeag 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Dear Neighbors: There is only one computer game that I play. It is: freerice.com It is a vocabulary game (and there are options for chemistry, geography, foreign languages and grammar) For each correct answer, they donate 10 grains of rice to the World Food Programme. I believe this is real. I've tried to find if it is a scam on several websites, but haven't found any results. Haven't found that it is real either, but it is fun and your participation may help. Try it. The more you play, the more difficult it gets. If you are like me and spending more time at home than you wanted this winter, you can discover just how much you don't know. Jan McKeag
