[UC] Happy New Year

[Elizabeth F Campion]

Happy New Year neighbors!

I hope you enjoy some, or all, of the following:

1. New and neat and reminding us that West Philly is more than UC is...

The CENTENNIAL CAFE
In the historic OHIO HOUSE
On Belmont Avenue at Montgomery Drive
(by Mail : 4700 States Drive / 19131)

The restoration lets light and park views into charming rooms.
Great Columbe Coffee is brewed as you like it.
Home made breakfasts, lunches and desserts include many authentic
Centennial options.
The place is immaculately clean and the staff is pleasant and helpful.
The manager is Doree Gibbs.
Hours are "Dawn to Dusk".
There is a web site
www.TheCentennialCafe.com
Phone is 215-877-3055


2. For a site for all those who might want information and tools to
enable New Year Goals of improved Health or Fitness, try:
 http://www.revolutionhealth.com/toolkit
This site has charts, video clips, blogs and offers support groups.


3. Care Pages has a calender of "Giving".
The calender is a good reminder, to me, 
of how lucky I've been and 
of how many ways there are to contribute.
It may be useful to others.
Many 'days' are links to other good sites, such as the Red Cross, SPCAs,
organ donation, etc.
The link below is to the December Calender, hopefully it will seque to
future months.

If not, try www.CarePages.com and check out links available therein.
This site even advises us to give ourselves a break.
So, I'll try not to feel so bad about not getting cards and gifts to all
those I love and appreciate, and will head into the 2008 New Year with a
hope of being a better neighbor with each future New Year.

All the best in 2008 and beyond!

[UC] did your car get hit last night? drunk driver along springfield ave and beyond

[Jennine Miller]

Dear Neighbors,
Last night a person driving some kind of SUV hit at least 6 cars on the 4800 
block of Springfield Ave.  The person was arrested at 39th and Chestnut and I 
imagine there was more damage done along the way.  When she (I think?) hit the 
cars on my block, a tire came off her car and she drove east on three tires 
until she was apprehended at 39th and Chestnut.  If you need more information, 
call the 18th police district at  (215) 686-3180.
 
This happened between 12:00 and 1:30.  Cars were hit on both sides of my block.
 
Take care,
Jennine

Re: [UC] Computer service needed at Abbraccio

[FRByers]

 
Hi, All,
 
 Last summer, I had problems with my SONY  laptop.  I took it to 
University Micro Center (I think that's what its name  is) on 42nd St. just 
above 
Chestnut, in the same building as University City  Review (the former Injaian 
Rug 
store).  They did a great job.  In  fact, I later bought a reconditioned 
laptop from them for a relative at a very  reasonable price and it also works 
great.  I strongly recommend them.
 
 Fran

We have intermittent problems with the security  camera system we have in 
place.  The original company (of course!) went  out of business so it's hard to 
find reputable service.  Sometimes the  computer just will not start.  We know 
enough to hit "start" and "F8"  at the same time, and then do "start" in the 
"safe" mode.  ...but this  does not work.
We contacted "Computer Geeks" for assistance  and they are due to come out.  
Anyone have experience with them?   Anyone think he/she can do better? 
Thanks
Roger and  Vince
