not.  Flyer said

Re: [Chat] Attempted break in

2006-10-13 Thread Greg Alexander
I'm sorry to hear that Kathleen.  I know that is quite scary.  We got a call on 
at 9 on Saturday
night from our alarm company (we were at PJs enjoying a pizza and beer) that 
our alarm was going
off.  My partner and a friend came home to check on it as we assumed that it 
was a false alarm. 
No, in fact, as someone threw a rock through the front window breaking the 
storm and main window
(luckily we have glass break sensors on the windows).  The cops were great 
(they actually got here
the same time as Paul who was only seven blocks away).  They searched the 
entire house but they
believe that it was probably just vandalism as it would not make sense for a 
break-in attempt to
break a front window at 9 on a Saturday and only use a small rock.  I did not 
sleep on Saturday
but have adjusted now.  It has been more of an inconvenience that anything else 
having to replace
the glass in both windows.

Stay safe!

-Greg

[Chat] Lost cat?

2006-10-14 Thread Greg Alexander
Does anyone know of anyone who has lost a Himalayan-looking cat?  My neighbor, 
who takes care of
stray cats and gets them neutered or fixed, says that a cat appeared by his 
house that appears to
be someone's domesticated cat, as it has a collar (no name tag, though) and is 
friendly.  He lives
in the 2600 block of Guilford.  He's an older man and I don't think he has a 
computer, so I'll
relay any messages to him if anyone knows of a missing cat.

[Chat] Found kitten

2006-10-30 Thread Greg Alexander
Does anyone know of anyone missing a young (maybe 6 mos old) black cat?  He is 
quite skinny, has a
skinny tail at the base with a fluffy end and is very affectionate.  He/she 
showed up at our porch
last night and was there this morning trying to sneak in.  We can't take him in 
as our old
17-year-old cat would attack him (we've tried this before with another cat).  
We fed him this
morning and he was starving.

We went through 17 bags of candy - wow!  Thankfully, I waited until Safeway had 
them marked down
to half price right before Halloween.  And we were somewhat frugal about giving 
out as we didn't
want to run out.  Kids were great - great costumes, very polite, a really great

[Chat] Jones Fall Sewer project

2006-12-06 Thread Greg Alexander
So, is anyone else going crazy with this sewer project?  It goes down 27th 
Street and this week
they are tearing up 27th at Guilford by my house.  It's absolutely horrible!  I 
work from home and
at several times during the day, the whole house shakes.  We were given no 
notice about this by
the city (only those located within 100 feet of 27th Street were according to 
the Peabody Heights
Assoc.), and luckily we were both home when they started yesterday, as when 
they are drilling, the
house shakes and things started to fall off walls and move on shelves, some of 
which were family
antiques.  Luckily we were home so that we could grab these things and put them 
away.  Not to
mention that the shaking of the house will cause damage to the foundation, I'm 
sure.  I see that
the Community Law Center has offered to help but I wonder if our being more 
than 100 feet away
(just barely) matters.

[Chat] Crime update

2007-01-10 Thread Greg Alexander
I wanted to share a couple of incidents that have occurred here in the 2600 
block of Guilford, as
I feel the more we all know what's going on with each other's areas, a stronger 
community we can
be.  So, what that in mind:

My neighbor's house was broken into on New Year's Eve around 6 p.m.  He was 
home and found someone
in his office who stole his cell phone.  He struggled with the man but he got 
away.  No weapon on
him and my neighbor said the guy smelled like alcohol.  

Also, last night, some neighborhood kids (3-4 of them, mid teens) shot a BB gun 
at my partner and
I on our back porch (which is luckily screened). We called the police but not 
sure what - if
anything - happened.

I agree.  I pleaded with my neighbor whose house was broken into to do so, but 
I'm not sure if he
did.  I also just bumped into a neighbor who informed me that their rental 
property in the 2700
block of Guilford was shot at by a BB gun and broke windows.

Just a message, a plea, to all concerning crime in our area.  As a community, 
we need to make sure
a police report is filed for each incidence.  I know that it is time consuming 
and actually some
officers are reluctant to volunteer to fill out police reports, but to get a 
better idea of what
is really happening in our community we need to be more conscientious about 
insiting on police
reports being filed.

[Chat] 2627 Guilford

2007-02-06 Thread Greg Alexander
Steve (sorry, I don't have your direct email handy):

Has your sister-in-law (Christine) moved from the house next door to me?  I 
have not seen here in
a while (I know she travels) and there has been a couple living there for the 
past few weeks. 
Then, today I noticed the entire backyard was filled with boxes and bags and 
tons of other stuff. 


I just wanted to make sure that she was OK and that what they are doing there 
is OK by her.  I
couldn't find Raquel's phone number, so I thought I'd ask you.

It's great that Two Sisters has great food.  However, we tried to go there

always closed.  We tried Sunday lunch and Thursday dinner, and, although their

[Chat] Fwd: recent house break-in

2007-04-03 Thread Greg Alexander

Subject: [CV Block Leaders] (no subject)
Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2007 14:51:35 -0400

Monday April 2, 2007
 
One of our neighbors had their house broken into last night on the East side of 
the 2700 block of
St. Paul. They asked me to email you all with the details as soon as possible 
so that you all
might be on the look out and keep your own houses protected.  Luckily they were 
not home, because
the intruders stayed all night long.  
 
They cut the phone lines (presumably before entering the house) then forced the 
back door of the
house open.  They stole mainly jewelry, power tools, personal documents, 
alcohol, and some of the
homeowners clothing.  
 
They may have been watching this house because they did not seem to be bothered 
that the car was
parked in back of the house and that the lights were on up stairs.  
 
It appears that the intruders were a man and a woman and that one or both of 
them smoked
cigarettes.  They stayed in the house overnight eating the homeowners food, 
drinking their
alcohol, and sleeping in their rooms.  
 
The home owners arrived early this morning around 7am to find the house 
ransacked.  
 
 
 
Please keep your eyes and ears open but remember,
 
 

* If you have any information regarding this incident please call the

Northern District Police - 410-396-2455or JHU Campus Safety and Security - 
410-516-4600. 

* Do not argue with an armed robber and risk serious injury: safety

- wise, it is better to relinquish the property demanded. Without being obvious 
about it, try to
form a detailed memory of the robber's appearance so that you can make positive 
identification
afterwards. 

Timely and accurate crime reporting is critical to crime prevention.

Report all criminal incidents promptly to the Police

[Chat] Books for kids

2007-04-04 Thread Greg Alexander
CV neighbors,

Full disclosure:  I am a fan of the Oprah show and TiVo it every day. 
Yesterday's show was about
this former Microsoft senior executive making millions and millions of dollars 
each year, who one
year visited Nepal and learned that there were kids in Nepal - and all over the 
world - who were
dying to learn and read but simply had no books (they fought over Dr. Seuss' 
books when he brought
them).  He quit his job and founded a nonprofit to deliver books and to build 
libraries and
schools all over the world.  So far, he has collected 3 million books, started 
287 schools,
established 3,600 libraries and funded more than 2,000 long-term scholarships 
for girls in
third-world countries.  His big thing is that there are 770 million illiterate 
adults in the
world, two-thirds of whom are women and girls, so the circle will continue as 
illiterate women are
unable to teach their children.

He and Oprah have partnered where $1 donation buys a book.  As a bibliophile, 
the show spoke to
me.  I made a donation to his charity (Room to Read).  A friend of mine 
contacted me about the
show.  She lives in Barre Circle (near Camden Yards).  She started a localized 
version of this
idea months ago as her neighbor is a City schoolteacher in a low-income 
neighborhood.  She and I
meeting this week to discuss growing her grassroots program, as the show spoke 
to her, too.  Of
course, I want my efforts to support CV-area schools.  Does anyone have any 
insight on how to do
this at Margaret Brent and Barclay?  Shall I contact the VLP?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

Re: [Chat] "Clean Up After Your Dog" signs

As a dog owner, there is nothing that makes me more mad than people who do not 
pick up after their
dogs.  I confronted a CV resident recently about this.  She has 2-3 dogs that 
she walks unleashed
and I've never seen her pick up after the dogs.  Needless to say, she was not 
thrilled with
pointing this out to her...

[Chat] Crime on Guilford

2007-05-01 Thread Greg Alexander
Just a reminder to keep your eyes open, especially this time of year.  My 
neighbor across the
street (2600 block of Guilford) was broken into this afternoon.  Ironically, I 
noticed a guy
hanging out on their porch this morning and when I asked him who he was looking 
for and what he
was up to, he left.  I kept an eye on their house today, but apparently, he 
returned a few hours
later and broke in their back door.  He took some DVDs, CDs, cell phones, and 
some other items.  I
only wish I would have called the cops this morning but when he left, I thought 
it was OK.  My
neighbor did call the police who is there now taking fingerprints and taking a 
report (I went over
to give the description I had).  Hopefully, they'll catch him.  Luckily, the 
convenience store
owner on 27th also saw him and thinks she knows him.

[Chat] Darker than Blue

2008-01-27 Thread Greg Alexander
Paul and I went last night and had an amazing meal! There were a few other 
tables full but it
looks as though the word is not out quite yet.  The chef/owner came out three 
times to talk with
us - such a nice guy (also a fellow South Carolina native).  They give you this 
amazing hot
cornbread to start and the portions are huge.  We both had the fried chicken 
plate with mac and
cheese, yams and spinach. Also had a decadent dessert - chocolate pound cake.  
Beautiful
presentation and very affordable.  It's BYOB, and there is no corkage fee.  We 
had a huge meal and
with a generous tip, it was about $40.  Let's support this local restaurant run 
by a great guy.

Just a reminder of the threat of violence here in CV.  My neighbor here in the 
2600 block of
Guilford Avenue just informed me that a renter on our block was held up at 
gunpoint at 2 a.m. this
morning as he was unloading his car. Two African-American males held a gun to 
his face and
demanded his cash.  Luckily they did not take his car or harm him in any way. 

Be careful out there!

-Greg

[Chat] Rental house in CV

2008-04-15 Thread Greg Alexander
Our housesitter/petsitter is looking to move to Charles Village (she has fallen 
in love with CV
after housitting for us several times). She just graduated from Loyola and she 
and three other
friends are looking to rent in CV. They need three bedrooms (one is a couple) 
and are looking to
move in July. Their budget is $1,500/month. I told her I'd look out for her in 
the neighborhood
but thought I'd ask around for her to see if anyone knew of any rentals coming 
open this summer.

Thanks,
Greg

[Chat] Power company rep

2008-04-15 Thread Greg Alexander
Has anyone else had a guy come around today in a yellow embroided company shirt 
saying he was with
the company who supplies power to BGE?  I cannot remember the name of the 
company he said he was
with (I'm on Claritin for allergies and out of it).  He said I may be eligible 
for an eight
percent discount off my bill and he needed to see a copy of my latest BGE bill. 
 I told him that
we opted out of all paper bills and pay online and he said OK and walked off.  
Kind of weird...

Thanks, Rob.  He seemed like he was on the up and up (not a scammer) but I was

[Chat] Crime wave continues in lower CV

2008-04-26 Thread Greg Alexander
For the second time in three weeks, we just heard 5-6 gunshots within a block 
of our house on Guilford (at 9 p.m. on a gorgeous evening).  About seven cop 
cars responded, which is good. Meanwhile, the house at 2622 Guilford has become 
a full-time drug house with a constant stream of cars coming to the house, 
double parking and going in for drugs as I smell the daily smell of marijuana 
smoke as I walk the dog.  Also, a group of four 12-year-olds harassed me as I 
walked the dog, one of them carrying a metal baton (I later saw him duck in the 
bushes, undoubtedly to assault a future passer-by). I call the cops but nothing 
happens.  

Ahhh, life in the Village.  Isn't it grand?!

[Chat] 2625 Guilford

2008-05-29 Thread Greg Alexander
Great news!  Renovation has begun at 2625 Guilford!  The house was purchased by 
St. Ambrose from the City and has been abandoned for 10 years and has always 
been the eye-sore of the block, not to mention a common place for people to 
dump trash  and for juveniles to hang out and smoke pot.  They have already 
made tremendous progress (I peaked in a window).  And, with the recent 
renovation next door at 2623 (which really needed it) this is very exciting 
news in what has been a rough spring with all the crime on our block and 
surrounding blocks.

See ya'll at the Festival!

2008-08-11 Thread Greg Alexander
Just a quick note to let everyone know that we are selling two dressers, a 
hutch, desk, nightstand and chair - all from the same Ethan Allen collection. 
We have listed them on eBay and since we are doing "local pick up only," I 
thought I'd let others in CV know.  Here is the link for the large dresser and 
hutch; you can find the other items from there:

Re: [Chat] [Discussion] Bad experience with Papa Johns Pizza

2008-10-01 Thread Greg Alexander
FYI:  We have always had great experience with a local place - Charles 
Restaurant, 2500 St. Paul, 410-366-1600.  Delivery is quick (sometimes almost 
too quick to get your wallet) and the pizza is delicious.  I personally have 
boycotted Domino's for years as its founder and president is one of the leading 
contributers to Operation Rescue and other pro-life organizations, as well as 
organizations that fight against same sex marriage bills.

Chris is long gone; he moved a while back.  The current owner renovated it 
(thank God, it was disgusting) and it's on the market.  They broke in the back 
and took all the brand-new stainless steel appliances.  Whomever it was is good

[Chat] Another crime wave in lower CV

2008-10-07 Thread Greg Alexander
Neighbors, please be careful and keep your eyes open.  In the last five days, 
we have had three break-ins in our block (2600 Guilford) alone.  One house had 
all appliances stolen, another resident had a bike stolen off the front porch 
as he went inside to unlock his door while another house just got broken into 
today in broad daylight.  Theories abound any but some are saying that the 
recent increase of police presence on 27th near Barclay – while a great idea – 
has pushed crooks west to Guilford Avenue.  

Let's keep our eyes open and don't hesitate to call the police if you see 
anything suspicious.  Instead of sitting on my quiet screened-in back porch in 
the evenings, I plan on sitting on my front porch and stoop for the next week 
to let these crooks know that we're watching!

Frustrated and angry,
Greg

[Chat] CV businesses

2008-11-04 Thread Greg Alexander
Well, we are wrapping up the Charles Village book soon (we got a contract with 
the History Press).  I am filling out their marketing questionnaire now.  I 
have lots of local businesses listed including Eddies, Donna's, Gordon's 
Florist, Normal's, Graphic Imaging, Copy Cat, etc.  Does anyone know the name 
of that card place on the west side of St. Paul Street?  Any other 
recommendations are welcome.

Thanks,
Greg

Thanks!  Just to be clear - this is a marketing sheet the publisher has us fill 
out to identify potential businesses that may be interested in selling the book 
in their store, not a list of businesses to include in the content.

Good job Sonya!  I am making a deliberate attempt to not only be aware of my 
surroundings but to also be deliberate about it hoping it will clue in crooks 
that the neighborhood is on the lookout.

Re: [Chat] Just some thoughts

2008-11-21 Thread Greg Alexander
Sonja,

I love the sweeping idea and Front Porch Fridays.  My partner meets with police 
regularly in DC with his job and having "eyes on the street" is the No. 1 thing 
the police recommend to fight crime.  As you say, if there are people outside 
(especially in cold weather), crooks will go elsewhere.  We have been sitting 
outside more and more on our front porch on Fri and Sat nights (with a bottle 
of wine) to keep an eye on neighbors.  I hate cold weather, but I can put on a 
bulky jacket, right?

Great ideas - keep them coming and let's take back our neighborhood!

It will be either $19.99 or $21.99.  We plan on buying a stack of books and, to 
save, on shipping, you can buy directly from us and we'll deliver free anywhere 
in Charles Village (good excuse to walk my dog more).  We can also sign them if 
you like.

Details to follow.

[Chat] CV Book Launch Party at Village Learning Place, March 14

2009-03-10 Thread Greg Alexander

Paul and I are pleased to invite everyone to the Book Launch Party at Village 
Learning Place, 2521 St. Paul Street, on Saturday, March 14 at 2 p.m. for our 
book "A Brief History of Charles Village." The 128-page book explores Charles 
Village's transformation from its inception as a country retreat for downtown 
residents to a diverse neighborhood today composed of longtime residents, 
recent transplants, apartment renters and university students. 
 
Paul and I will be providing wine, soft drinks and will have some snacks on 
hand, too. We will also be selling signed copies of the book ($21.99 for the 
book, as well as a special CV gift set for $25). We'll accept cash, checks as 
well as credit/debit cards.

While Barnes and Noble, as well as Greetings and Readings, are having book 
signings later this month, we wanted to launch the book at a local institution 
such as the Village Learning Place. The publisher has also generously agreed to 
make a contribution to the Village Learning Place.

Hope to see you there!
 
-Greg and Paul

[Chat] Donating goods

2009-04-23 Thread Greg Alexander

Our block (2600 Guilford) is having a block yard sale this Saturday, 
8:30-12:30.  Our block leader came up with the idea to have everyone donate 
some of the unsold goods from the sale to a local non-profit.  We would 
designate one home to consolidate all the household goods, furniture, etc.  
Does anyone know of a non-profit that we can call to arrange for a Monday 
pick-up?

I find that hard to believe.  The majority of our items were from $0.25 to $1, 
including shorts/shirts/sweaters for $1.  Considering that most vendors 
reported that they sold almost everything, I'd say you were in the minority.  
Also, it was a great community building exercise for our block and all unsold 
items were donated to charity.

2009-04-26 Thread Greg Alexander

Jusy,

Glad to hear it about the positive interaction.  I was not trying to equate the 
two variables; rather, stating that we had a good time and it was a good 
exercise for us, especially considering that those of us in lower CV receive 
little support and feel on our own most times, so we must band together.  BTW, 
men's clothes were a small fraction of the items.  I sold Fiestaware dishes, 
for example, for $0.25/each that retail for $9 for a small plate online today.

[Chat] 28th and Calvert

2009-04-29 Thread Greg Alexander

Just now while walking my dog, I saw about six cop cars and an ambulance at the 
northwest corner of 28th and Calvert (I guess that would be 2802 Calvert?).  
There seemed to be about six uniformed cops on the porch.  Anyone hear anything?

[Chat] Beware dog owners or walkers in general

2009-05-03 Thread Greg Alexander

As I was walking my dog tonight at 27th and Guilford, I encountered a lady with 
two medium-sized dogs.  As I crossed their path, one of her dogs (it was a 
black mid-sized dog) chased after my elderly greyhound, who fell in the street 
and hurt his hip again (he's still limping hours later).  This is not the first 
time we've encountered this unfriendly and irresponsible dog owner, who 
shrugged off my complaint to her to please control her dogs.  I reminded her 
that she needs to have her dogs on a leash (she puts them on leash only when 
encountering other dogs).  

I'm not sure if her aggressive dog is only so with dogs or also with humans, 
but be careful out there if you see her.

from personal experience but they are a local co.

[Chat] Suspicious man in 2600/2700 block of Guilford

2009-11-10 Thread Greg Alexander
Wanted to alert everyone to a suspicious man whom I observed while walking a 
client's dog today.  He appeared to be intoxicated and kept sitting on steps of 
several homes and looked into a couple of windows in the 2600 and 2700 blocks 
of Guilford (west side of street).  I called 911 immediately and when no one 
came within a few minutes, I called again.  Cops just showed up, talked to him 
and let him go (why he was not cited for public intoxication is beyond me).  He 
started walking down toward 25th, hopefully leaving CV.  

Description:  mid-40s, African-American male, gray sweatpants, blue windbreaker 
jacket, blue baseball hat with yellow writing.

Keep an eye out,
Greg

[Chat] Follow up on dog attack - good news

2009-12-03 Thread Greg Alexander
Thanks to all of your persistence and alerting officials on the event last 
night and the lack of follow up, the officer and his supervisor returned this 
evening, did a full report and then we all walked down to the scene of the 
attack.  The officer said that our postal carrier had logged a similar 
complaint against the same dog earlier this week.  There we met a neighbor who 
was able to ID the house and the police are going to talk to the owner now.  
Baltimore City Animal Control has also been in touch thanks to the Animal 
Cruelty Task Force who saw Paul's original email.

Thank you so much for all your kind words and action!  This is why Charles 
Village is such an amazing place to live!

Thank you,
Greg and Paul (and Herschel)

[Chat] Used car

2010-01-05 Thread Greg Alexander
A couple of months ago, I got notice from my repair place that my car needs a 
lot of work, and it's getting to the point that spending any more money is 
fruitless.  So, tired of renting cars and taking cabs to make do, we must begin 
the dreaded search for a car. Since we are on a tight budget and dealers offer 
few decent cars for under $11,000 it seems, I thought I'd ask if you know of 
anyone out there looking to sell a car in Charles Village?

Thanks,
Greg Alexander

Has anyone heard anything (especially those of you who have police scanners)

This house has long been suspected as a drug dealing house and four police cars 
arrived that night with one shouting about having a police warrant.  They were 
there for quite some time (over an hour).

Never like to assume anything, but it's pretty safe to say it was probably drug

It does indeed sound like a worthy cause.  I was only dimly

only individuals, not families, and Heart's Place being the

Lauren has friends at 2602 N. Calvert.  Her note from last night:

--

OK.  I just talked to one of my friends who lives at 2602 N. Calvert and she 
said that the shooting happened in the back alley behind their house and didn't 
involve them.  Police suspect it was drug related.  One of her housemates had 
just walked in from the back alley and had seen 2 men with hoods and then as 
she went inside she heard shots and went back outside and one of the men was 
dead. She spent hours with the police telling them what she saw and heard.  She 
is freaked out, but the rest of them are doing alright.

[Chat] CV Retail

2010-06-18 Thread Greg Alexander
So despite Ledo's having an awning over the entire former Rocky Run space, I 
noticed for the first time today that there are retail for lease signs 
plastered on all the windows and door for the left half of the space - are they 
sub-leasing this space?

Also, had a haircut at the new hair place, Moxie.  Second time there; two bad 
haircuts and the inability to take you on time despite an appointment.  
Terrible.

Also, why is it so hard to find a place to grab a late brunch/early lunch in CV 
on Sundays?  Paul and I walked for 30 minutes on Sunday around 1:  Terra Cafe 
opens at 3 for some reason, MJs Soul Food is closed, Wyman Park restaurant is 
closed, iBar opens at 5 and Pete's closes at 1.  We finally ended up driving to 
The Dizz in Remington, despite just being there the night before.  What's up 
with all these places being closed on Sundays?  Are we in Alabama?  I left the 
South 13 years ago for many reasons, one of which being having religion mandate 
business hours.  Give me a break.

-Greg

Thanks!  Tracy cut mine both times (despite my request to have someone else the 
second time).  She was 20 minutes late, blew through my haircut, sprayed me in 
the face when washing my hair, and then proceeded to almost cut me with the 
clippers.

Thanks.  We were too casual for Gertrude's (we were looking more for a casual, 
cheap breakfast).

Greg did you think of Gertrude's, they are about the only place within walking 
distance that has a brunch.  Also Abasador Dining Room other than that I also 
have not been pleased with Sunday brunch offerings in CV.

Love Carma's, too, but alas no Sunday.  Paper Moon is always good as is Golden

re brunch: One World Cafe is pretty good. If you want to walk across the 
campus, Golden West is solid.
I really with Carma's was open on Sunday. They changed their hours a while back 
to be open in the evening, but still not on Sunday!

Rosie is home safe and sound as of  6:15 this 
evening!  She is happily sleeping...likely didn't get much in the past few 
days on the street.  I pass along my deepest gratitude to everyone tonight 
who sent positive wishes our way and who helped in the search.  Most 
especially, THANK YOU to the Matthews-Hale Family for spotting Rosie in their 
alley and marching her right on over to us!  Charles Village 
community at its best!
With gratitude,

  kitty!!
  

  Hi, everyone- particularly those in the 2700 
  block areas of Calvert, Guilford, and St. Paul.  We just returned from a 
  brief trip to the shore and came home to find our cat, Rosie, (about 3 years 
  old) missing.  She has a chip ID implant, so I am hoping someone will 
  pick her up and have her checked.  But, if you see her, she is a dark 
  tabby cat with splashes of white on her face, a stubby tail, and a white 
tummy 
  that sways when she walks.  Most concerning to me is that when we adopted 
  her, she had previously been declawed, so she has been an indoor cat!  If 
  you have seen her, please let us know.  We are very worried.
  Cathy
