Racism at the Dog Park
by Adriana E. Ramirez-Welch 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Hello, a friend of mine posted this on Facebook, and as a Latina living in Highland Park, I find this completely and utterly reprehensible. If anyone has any information on this, I would really appreciate it. Right now, as a journalist, I’m trying to get all the facts before I write a story about this incredibly racist incident.

Leaves
by Ruth Farrell 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Garfield Farm would LOVE bags of leaves for composting. If you have any bags and would rather see them composted than dumped in land fill, please please please take them to Garfield Farm (near the water tower) and leave them on Wicklow Street by the Market Stall. Thanks! Ruth Farrell PS If you haven’t yet been there, it is a piece of paradise which looks out over Highland Park!!

Re: Racism at the Dog Park

This is appalling. If this woman is identified she should be banned from the park. I don't visit the dog park as I don't have a dog, but will be sharing this with my neighbors who do. I am so sorry your friend and her son had to experience this. Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 29, 2017, at 12:06 PM, Adriana E.

Moving boxes
by Susan Zelicoff 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Dozens of moving boxes, Assorted sizes. Lots of the larger, taller heavy duty dish-packing boxes (these are great)and large single and dual expanding mirror and picture frame boxes, including special protective styrofoam corner inserts. Prefer to sell all to one buyer, but willing to sell in lots it ten. Weekend pick up strongly preferred. Even the largest ones fit in my Prius hatch back when flattened ( but not all of them at the same time!!). Lots of white packing paper, too, both crumbled and flat. Sorry, no wardrobe boxes. Selling cheap. My Goal is to recycle. Susan Cell 412-260-6555
