[Highland Park] where to get dirt?
by Rachel Kirby 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Hi folks, My husband and I want to start doing some gardening in our backyard. We want to put in raised beds, but we're looking at needing on the order of ~6 cubic yards of good topsoil. It seems silly to try to buy that much in bags at Home Depot, but we haven't had much luck locating a local nursery that delivers soil. Does anyone have any suggestions on where we can look? thanks, Rachel

[Highland Park] attempted robbery alert
by Sarina Meyer 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hi Everyone - This story is third-hand. In the alley between Sheridan and Collins (the block between Jackson and Stanton) a group (perhaps 3-4) of men with a truck attempted to break into the back of a house on Sheridan. The owner was home and chased them away. I don't have anymore specific information. Just beware that there is a group around attempting to break into homes. Please call the police if you notice anything suspicious. Grace and peace, Sarina -- Rev. Sarina Odden Meyer Associate Pastor Eastminster Presbyterian Church sarina.meyer(a)gmail.com

by Jordana Rosenfeld 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

I'm a high school student at CAPA and am flat broke. I'm a budding creative writer and playwright looking for anyone willing to donate a typewriter (preferably manual, but quite frankly, I'll take anything) for me to type my work on. If anyone has an old typewriter for which they no longer have a need, I would truly appreciate it if they would email me at marrymealittlejbr(a)gmail.com. Thank you very much. :)
