swarming wasps on Cordova & King
by Jana Finder 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

Neighbors, My son and I were just walking our dogs near the top of Cordova at King Ave. when he was suddenly surrounded by a swarm of wasps and got stung 5 times on his head, arm, and ankle. It was a very scary experience so we wanted to let folks know to please stay away from that area. We think there may be an underground nest that we stepped on. If you live in one of the houses in that location, you may want to investigate the situation. Jana Finder

lost collie mix taken to Animal Rescue League
by Deanna Broujos 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

We found a beautiful, friendly brown/black collie mix last night near Farmhouse drive and it followed us to Farragut St. around 10:30 last night. No tags or collar . We took it to the Animal Rescue League on Hamilton St. in East Liberty. I have attached a photo in the hopes that someone recognizes this dog and get him back home. He did not have a microchip.
