[UC] shar pei (dog - abandoned or soon-to-be)
FOLKS, PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS DOG... IF YOU SEE HIM AND CAN DO SO, PICK HIM UP. :( Begin forwarded message: From: Nancy Lewis nancy.le...@me.com Date: August 18, 2011 12:15:52 PM EDT To: Dog Park memb...@chesteravenuedogpark.com Subject: [DogPark] shar pei (abandoned or soon-to-be) hi everyone. this morning rob goodman (owner of lucy) and i were chatting outside my building at 47th/Hazel. a man drove up in a white 4-door sedan with tinted windows and asked if we wanted a dog...a shar pei in the back seat with his little boy. it's a male, un-neutered, about a year old very sweet, tail-wagging...one-year old. he was wearing a collar (if i remember correctly, that was white with words on it in black and red). the man urgently wanted us to take it. he said he couldn't drive to the spca because his car wouldn't make it. he said they didn't have enough time for it and it was starting to get separation anxiety (though it seemed very calm in the car). and he said i see a lot of people around here walking dogs and i was thinking about just putting it on someone's porch or tying it to a pole, because if i let it go free it might get hit by a car. rob and i were both trying to get to work, etc. we tried to talk him down on the pole idea. he had already been to clark park. we suggested the baltimore pet shoppe or the vet school in case someone could help him with a better idea or if someone there would just take it. we also suggested the humane society and repeatedly the spca. all the while the dog was wagging it's tail in the back seat while the little boy was petting him. so, if you see this dog it has been abandoned, unless it has a new owner. he said it was pure bred, etc. it was all really weird and he seemed to be in a huge rush to get rid of the dog. i feel really bad about this. i had to get to work and it was very upsetting for both of us. nancy (dandie)
Re: [UC] Re: Parking Spaces @ 43rd Baltimore
The parklet is the most retarded thing I've ever seen. There is a F* park right across the street. This is not in direct response to any of the responses below, just a general sentiment. What's next? Wheelchair lanes in-between the trolley tracks on Baltimore? How much did they waste on that piece of crap? -andy On Sat, Aug 13, 2011 at 1:56 PM, robert rathmann jacko...@cavtel.netwrote: The rebut that I expected.

If the temporary inconvenience of losing two parking spaces is making it hard for people to manage they're parking needs then you can take my spot for the time being. let me know and I will save a spot for you with my folding chairs (I stole them from Clark Park btw). Much of the reasons for living in this neighborhood is the never ending diversity of ideas and creative displays that our neighbors demonstrate in many ways. The city is a tight squeeze and we're all in it together. If we spent less time selfishly complaining about minor inconveniences and embrace the cultural expressions and creativeness of those who make things happen we might smile a bit more. As for Clark Park... it's my children's backyard. We are thankful that there are changes being made and that the Park has become a more friendly space for most. The amount of folks that use the north side of the park speaks for the positive change that's happening. I'm not going to sit here and say that every change is good and that any change is going to satisfy everyone but I'm not an angry guy with too much time and a personal agenda. I have a family, a real job which keeps me from becoming obsessed with every blade of grass that is damaged and every fart that is expelled from the powers working hard to make West Philly Safer, more creative, and a great place to raise a family. Lastly, I will have to confess that my love for Siano is undeclared as is my love for Glenn. Sorry. I've now addressed my shallow, selfish feelings about these things. I'm out. I will continue to enjoy reading the ever so entertaining discussions like this one. Rock on Glenn.

RE: [UC] Re: Parking Spaces @ 43rd Baltimore
Why such overreaction?Park-let is not a 'park'. it's an urban installation achieved by let.ing go of park.ing spaces, and turning them into temporary social.izing spaces [seats, benches...] Let's open our minds. It is better for its 'limited] longevity that it is next, or even in extension, to a commercial place, like a coffee shop, than 'on its own' somewhere where it could be vandalized overnight. Not immediately related, although somewhat similar is 'x park', I have been intended to introduce to the neighborhood. This is a good moment.They are excellent uses of the 'no park[ing]' spaces around hydrants in particular that involve ground level planting, the intervention many times more efficient in the elimination of vehicular pollution than any adjacent green areas including street trees could provide. X park' is one of the environmental projects of the eco-scientist Natalie Jeremienko. Here is a link to it. http://www.environmentalhealthclinic.net/projects/nopark/as well as her 'talk' at TED presenting a little wider range of her work.http://www.ted.com/talks/natalie_jeremijenko_the_art_of_the_eco_mindshift.htmlHope to se a few 'x parks' in UC and that we all get more tolerant towards spatial installations, especially the eco-efficient ones.Ana Ana Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:33:58 -0400 Subject: Re: [UC] Re: Parking Spaces @ 43rd Baltimore From: wil.p...@comcast.net To: dill...@dillernet.com; UnivCity@list.purple.com Can't say as I like the bleachers with window boxes.
