Does anyone know where to dispose of a small, non flat screen television? Are there any free drop off sites or do they all charge for drop offs. Thanks. Marsha

Need help converting PDFs to Word
by ckulk44＠aol.com 20 May '19

20 May '19

Hi, I'm helping a friend with a writing project that includes converting a lot of stuff from PDFs to Word. I believe there's software out there that can do this. I'm wondering whether (a) anyone has such software and might be interested in converting these documents (for pay, of course) or (b) can advise me on the most efficient way of doing this. Thanks,Claudette

Bad wrecks, fast cars
by Tazio Hilbert 20 May '19

20 May '19

I live at the southern end of Highland Park, on Highland between Jackson & Stanton. We have been experiencing a spate of very bad traffic accidents involving speeding. The night of March 16th there was an accident at the intersection of Jackson & Highland where one car t-boned another that was crossing at Jackson. That wreck left one car in the front yard of house, and the other car completely destroyed. A man was very seriously injured, and was laying on the sidewalk unconscious and bloody. Over the past weekend there was a similar accident at N Euclid & Stanton involving a car blowing through the stop sign and t-boning another vehicle. Once again, one car ended up in a yard, and this time an occupant was ejected by the impact, and was also bloodied and very seriously injured. There was a hit & run last year at Stanton & N Euclid where a man was walking his on-leash dog and crossing at the stop sign. A car blew through the stop, and killed his dog still attached to the leash. The car didn’t even stop. And I know that a couple of years ago, a jogger was killed at Highland and Stanton by a wreck that caused a car to veer onto the sidewalk and kill the pedestrian waiting to cross. Recently the heavy wood ‘Welcome to Highland Park’ sign was clipped off at Highland and Stanton by another accident that sent a car careening up into the lawn of the Seminary. These are not the kinds of accidents that happen when car is going 25mph through a residential neighborhood, these are serious wrecks caused by high speeds. What can be done to get traffic slowed down? I would love to see traffic cameras that could issue tickets on Highland and Negley. We get a lot of through-traffic that isn’t even local, and actually even the city buses travel too fast sometimes. On Stanton, it would be great to have yellow curb markings painted at the intersections so that cars don’t park so close to the intersections that people cannot see when they need to pull out. And maybe Stanton needs another stop sign between Negley & Euclid so that people aren’t taken by surprise by the one at N Euclid. Highland and Stanton should be marked ‘No Right On Red’ during school hours, and could really use a crossing guard. This should be a quiet neighborhood. We have a ton of families with kids and pets, and we have three(!) schools in the area. Additionally, so many of our corners are bus stops for kids going to school elsewhere, including the super dangerous intersection of Stanton & Highland. I would love to hear some more ideas people may have, and then maybe we can try to get something done. Someone is really going to get killed again if things stay the same. Thanks for your patience with the long post Tazio Hilbert Sent from my iPhone
