little black dog

A little black dog was running through our yard just now (5:45pm). I went out to call it and he took off up to King Street. By the time I went up there, he was no where to be found. At least a sighting if you are drying to find your pup.

Carport to Garage Conversion - Contractor Recs Requested
by L.Fusco, Owner 01 Nov '19

01 Nov '19

Howdy, neighbors! We have a failing carport behind the house and would like to convert it to an expanded, enclosed garage. We've had numerous contractors poop out and never even send a quote! We've already done the zoning legwork!! Please, we are desperate. Send info on reputable contractors who will show up to assess the project, provide a quote, and do the work. There's also a fencing component of the project so we can enclose the yard, so if you have any great contractors in the space, we'd love to hear about them. -- L.Fusco, Owner she/her/hers Elevate Resume Services fusco(a)elevateresume.com 717.968.4862

Found Shoe
by Frank Czuri 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

We found an opened box with one gray woman's shoe in it from Barnes. Obviously the package was stolen and opened and was left on our sidewalk at 6534. The mailing label is incomplete as it was torn when opened but I can make out it was addresses to a DelGuzzi on Jackson Street. Any help getting this to the rightful owner is appreciated.
