[Highland Park] Great Painting Job by Ultimate Custom Painting
by Bob Staresinic 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

Hello Neighbors My mother, Nancy Staresinic, just had the exterior of her house painted, and asked me to send an email to the list about how great she thinks it looks. She says it is the best looking house on the block, and everyone should walk by and admire it. She lives at the corner of Wellesley and Mellon, 5700 Wellesley Ave. I did speak to both Rick and his workers during the time they were there, and I was happy with how they did the work and how it came out. They replaced some wood, including a lot on the back porch, and reglazed some windows, and did a very good job. They were clean and respectful of the plants around the house. If you are thinking of getting your house painted, I would recommend Rick and his crew. His info is below.

[Highland Park] Aggressive Vivint Salesperson
by Janine Jones 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

Thanks for the previous post about this company. I had a visit yesterday. They wear bright orange shirts and carry a clip board that looked like for package delivery. If you don't handle aggressvie sales, don't open the door if you see this. I felt uneasy about this salesperson and his tactics. I closed the door quickly, but even though I immediately told him I was not interested and busy, he tried to explain something about cut phone lines and offering something for free. His eyes also locked onto our security system that can be viewed from the door. Not an effective sales style as he did not leave a good impression of the company. A company that is offering security should make me feel safe and at ease.

[Highland Park] Mulch Madness
by Guido Giuntini 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

MULCH MADNESS! The mulch has arrived at Fulton Elementary, so we need your help to dig up some weeds, bring your recycled newspapers to put over the plant beds and finally spread the mulch. It's a three point play that needs no practice but does need some coordinated team play. If you're not following the basketball comparison, no matter. Come to Fulton on Tuesday, July 5th at 6p to meet some of your neighbors and enjoy some time in the dirt. You'll feel great afterward. No kidding. Margot
