[Highland Park] Metal Help!!
by Melissa Dorsette 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

Hi Neighbors:We are in desperate need of Metal Poles that NEED to be 6 ft 8 inches long and 3/4 inches wide. Need at least 6 and they have to be these EXACT measurements. They all have to be the same. The length of the poles can be also made by 2 poles that fit or slide into each other to achieve the same 6 ft 8 inches long. Have already tried wood dowels (they don't hold up long) and looked in the obvious places, Home Depot, Lowes. Have also already tried the internet and the company that made it, with no luck. Has to be metal to hold up to the wind and rain. Does ANYONE have ANY ideas where we can get these for our gazebo roof? Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated-THANKS!!!

Thank you very much to all the people who answered my plea for a tree person to remove our tree. We are in the process of having people come to give an estimate, so I can't tell you who the "winner" is! I collected all the responses and have attached them here as a PDF. Once again, many thanks, Melissa Jones

[Highland Park] Let's Not Be Victims!
by Amanda Backeris 12 Jun '11

12 Jun '11

The recent (though yet in another line of) rash of reports of car and house break-ins is upsetting. But there are things that we can do to stop being victimized as a neighborhood. The reporting system via the listserve is great. We should definitely let each other know what is going on. We should also know who are our immediate neighbors are. This is immensely important. Please get to know your neighbors. Get to know when they come and go, what car they drive, and who they associate with. This does not have to be nosy. This is a safety precaution. Know when someone looks suspicious. Know when to report it. Please always lock your cars and your houses at all times; set alarms if you have them. Please do not leave any valuables in your car at any time. Call the police ANY time you are victimized or ANY time you see suspicious activity. No harm comes to you from reporting; harm can come to you and others from not reporting. My hope is that Highland Park can become known as a difficult place to victimize. We need the whole neighborhood to participate!

[Highland Park] Lemonade Stand on Mellon Sunday, June 12
by Julie Costa-Malcolm 11 Jun '11

11 Jun '11

Hi Neighbors! My sons will be running a lemonade stand tomorrow in the 900 block of Mellon (at one of the houses on the Chicks-in-the-Hood Urban Chicken Coop Tour, which you should also be checking out tomorrow). They're selling fresh-squeezed lemonade (yes, from real lemons) for $2/cup. They've decided they'll be donating half of their lemonade profits this summer to local animal shelters. So swing by the 900 block of Mellon between 10 and 2 tomorrow for some yummy lemonade made by two generous and highly entertaining young men. If you're looking for lemonade later in the week (or later this summer), they typically set up shop in the 5800 block of Wellesley, but their business hours are pretty erratic. I'll send advisories the night before when I know ahead of time that they're planning to be "open for business." Thanks! Julie
