Watermelon
by Erin Marie Williams 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Hello neighbors, We have had five deposits of Giant Eagle bags of cut up and partially eaten watermelon placed on our front lawn and driveway over the last few weeks. The first delivery also contained KFC trash. As a Black woman, the racist implications are not lost on me. It turns out that another neighbor has also had two such bags dumped at their home. We both have political displays of our overtly left-leaning values in our yards and thought that perhaps that may have prompted those responsible to target us, if indeed we are being intentionally targeted. I’m wondering whether anyone else has had bags of watermelon dumped on their lawns or drives over the last few weeks. If so, would you please let me know? Thank you much, EM Erin Marie Williams-Hatala, Ph.D. | Associate Professor of Biology | chathamUNIVERSITY

Needed help for small furniture assembly.
by Marlo Engels 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

When it comes to putting something together with multiple pieces I tend to get a bit impatient and get frustrated easily. It’s a cabinet piece of furniture, came with everything needed. I do have extra tools just in case. My guess is it would take someone probably an hour or so to put together. I even have a covered porch where it can be done. I am wondering if there is anyone in the neighborhood that is good at at doing this and can help me....either for free, a meal and/or small fee. Anyone? Please let me know if you are interested and when you have time. I’ll send pictures of the item to those that inquire. Thanks!
