[UC] Yard worker needed
Hi all, Does anyone know someone who would be interested in helping me with basic yardwork, i.e. pulling weeds, laying weed fabric laying mulch? I'm willing to pay $10 - $20 per hour. Having a car would be a plus but not vital. I need someone to help out next weekend. Thanks! --Cappy You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named UnivCity.

[UC] police in Clark Park
When I rode by yesterday around 8.30, there were two cars already on the playground and four more on the way. An ambulance, sirens on, might also have been going to the park or might just have been passing by. My housemate was walking through around the same time, and reported several kids handcuffed on the ground. There were also an awful lot of firetrucks out all over the neighborhood, but that seemed to be unrelated. Anyone know what was up?
[UC] free computer monitors
There are four or five free computer monitors on the sidewalk in front of 4717 Baltimore Ave. They are of the large bulky variety, not the sleek and slim flat-screen variety.
Re: [UC] police in Clark Park
We heard an ambulance on our block 45th Kingsessing at about that time.

[UC] FOCP meeting -- north park revitalizationplan -- clarification of whose plan
Friends of Clark Park at the Summer Membership Meeting Wednesday, July 16 The latest revitalization plans for Park 'A' (Baltimore to Chester Avenues) will be presented by the landscape architects. This will include a Q A session. Also on the agenda is a sneak peek of this years Shakespeare in the Park, as well as a talk on recycling in Clark Park. 7:00pm Reception, 7:30pm Meeting Griffith Hall, USP (43rd St. former Kingsessing Ave.) I got the above from FOCP. I wanted clarification on what was meant by the latest revitalization plans -- since we've been seeing master plans (by some name or other) for, what, five years now. They've all been handed down from above (no, not that Above, I mean from the people who have: both a) an anointed vision of what's best for us of the great unwashed, and b) a staff of people who depend for their job security on sucking up to people who give grant money for projects they don't understand). Anyway, the The latest revitalization plans refer to a set of alternate designs developed by a group that FOCP actually engaged. Apparently, there are several variations on an overall urban park theme. And the FOCP committee wants the folks who (get this, it's a really original idea) actually use the park to be in on the act. So, here's your chance. Also, as I understand it, the discussion of the The latest revitalization plans will be chaired by Matt Grubel, who hasn't already made up his mind and who therefore won't run one of those famous foregone conclusion forums starring the likes of UCD community managers, Penn Praxis, or the SHCA Board of Directors.

University City has barely any crime at all. Mark Mark, Your tone indicates serious frustration. If you've been subjected to the literature of Penn Real Estate surrogates, UCD and Penn Praxis; your reaction makes sense. For decades Penn called West Philly, Clark Park etc, a killing field. That was hooey. Over the past decade, it graded its community partnerships with A++ report cards using another pile of upscale hooey. Cleaner and safer; cleaner and safer. Hooey, hooey, hooey! Although many people on the list try to offer truthful stories and accounts, we are constantly buried under piles of corporate propaganda best conceptualized as ruthless corporate hooey. The truth comes in little bursts. The hooey comes in super tankers and our tiny band of anointed neighbors gorge themselves and revel in it. Crime patterns vary. If you have been watching corporate/government policies between the Penn hooey spins like me, you probably see how crime could be much worse right now. I certainly expect it to increase with more violence. We have been too busy with the sheer tonage of hooey and cousin hatred to notice the idiocracy we have created. While we have applauded our brand of upscale hooey, the real traumas that lead to serious violence and an unhappy society have festered. Many could see that beyond the piles and piles of hooey but are hoplessly in love with the riches promised below every hooey pile. But reality is there beyond the hooey mountain. Many of our brothers and sisters are married to what they see as gold crusted hooey. Mark, I hope you will join us dreamers and imagine a world not covered with any hooey at all! We are not alone!
