by FNCZ 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

I received a call from my neighbor Matt at 6531 Jackson that their Honda Odyssey and stone wall were pelted with about a dozen eggs either late Sunday 2/26 or early Monday the 27th. Please keep an eye open or let us know if anything similar has occurred of which you are aware. This is sort of a "neighborhood alert." Frank

[Highland Park] Free daybed and Triple Stroller
by Heather Conrad 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi, I have a free stroller. Joovy, Big Caboose Stand-On Triple. It has been in the garage for a year, so needs some cleaning, but it should clean up nicely. Sits 2 kids, with room for a 3rd in near the handles to stand/sit. Also has an attachment to hold an infant. I also have a metal daybed - single size for free. I have one mattress available now and there will be the other one soon (we can stay in touch or you can forgo the second one). It is similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Twin-HiRise-Daybed-Frame-Trundle/dp/B002WCAQX0/ref=sr… And, finally I have a box of misc plates - large and small and a couple of bowls. I would like to get these out of my house by Thursday, if possible, so preference to those who can do that. You can reach me via return email to arrange something. Take care, Heather

[Highland Park] Tax Reassessment Appeal
by Michael M. Nadler 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Dear neighbors - My wife and I went down today for our informal review to look into the reassessment on our home. Several things I wish to pass on: 1) 2013 Reassessment values have been taken off the county web site, thus there are none of the "NEW" numbers on the comparables to your home, nor on your neighbors, thus you have no ability to contrast the value that the county is putting on your home and property !!! 2) I printed out a map with our home in the center at least showing the property sizes, and used the old values to fight that. 3) I was lucky and started this process when the 2013 values were still there so was able to write some of the ones I wanted to use down, but when I went to print out the comparables this past weekend, they were gone, so see if you can get those to talk to the people about. 4) Parking is available free of charge with shuttle service, dropping you a block from the County Office Building, at the 2nd Avenue Parking, which is on the other side of the Armstrong Tunnels toward Oakland, from the Jail. All you need to show is your appointment paperwork, and you will get in free of charge. The process itself seemed very easy, but there are a lot of people there !!! We were called within five minutes of our scheduled appointment, and we were back on the shuttle within a half hour of getting there to get to our appointment. Following our discussion on our assessment, we were directed to a scanning room where they scanned our documents into the record of our informal review. We shall hear what they find in about six weeks or so. Hope this is of help to those looking into appealing their assessment.

[Highland Park] Offering Clothes size S
by Constanza Ehrenhaus 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

I have a bunch of clothes that need to go, but charities are way too picky about clothes and many just want to sell them. I would like to see them go to someone that needs them and would not sell them. Most of them are small, but there are a few medium. There are T-shirts, sweaters, trousers, work clothes, just everyday clothes. They are organized in: never used, barely used (once or twice, in excellent shape), used but still wearable (they just don't fit me anymore), and honestly only good for pet bedding or projects... or clothes you wouldn't mind to ruin while doing gardening and such. If you are interested in any of these bags let me know!Best! Coty.- -- Healthier, greener, and cheaper life: Sensibly Green<http://sensiblygreen.wordpress.com/>.
