Hi everyone, I'm selling a brand new rug, still in the original packaging. It's a 3' x 5' animal-themed rug that sells new for $85 <http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Momeni-Lil-Mo-Critter-Ivory-Rug/733475…>, but I'm asking $70 OBO. Here are 2 pictures: one of an identical rug unrolled (accidentally got 2 of the same rug), and one of the unopened rug. Let me know if you're interested!

Seeking Bamboo

Hello! I work at a garden nearby and we are in need of trellising materials for some of our crops. I had success with bamboo last year and was wondering if anyone has any hanging out in their yards that they don't want or need. I would be happy to pick it up. Let me know if you've got any lying around! Thanks!

FW: ** ARREST MADE IN CAR BREAK-INS **

Please see the email below from Comander Lando. This happened in friendship, but I thought you might like to know. From: Lando, Jason Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2015 11:38 AM To: Jason Lando Cc: Joseph Lippert; EUGENIO PERRI; Kevin Swimkosky; Kevin Merkel Subject: ** ARREST MADE IN CAR BREAK-INS ** Greetings Neighbors! I am happy to tell you that Zone 5 officers arrested several juveniles last night for breaking into cars in Friendship. While I cannot share the names of those arrested like I usually do (since they are underage), I can tell you that they are all 12-14 years of age and all are from Garfield. Last night around 8:00pm, Officers were dispatched to the 400 block of S. Winebiddle Street for a report of young males breaking into cars. The responding officers came across these males at Coral Street & Amboy Street. When the group spotted the officers approaching, one of the males (13 years old) discarded a loaded firearm behind a house on Coral Street. All five of the males were detained and the gun was recovered. Officers were able to locate witnesses who identified these males as the ones breaking into cars. They were all arrested and charged accordingly. Nice work by the officers... and to the neighbors for staying vigilant! Stay safe, Jason -- Cmdr.
