As I entered my house near 45th and Pine, a few days before Thanksgiving, I
was approached by an elderly gentleman, very upset, who was looking for his
car. He asked if I had seen anyone towing on the block. Since I had been out,
I couldn't say. He assured me that he had not parked in an

I am deeply disappointed in the leadership of the Spruce Hill Community
Association and its failure to recognize and to advocate for the best interests
of the residents of our neighborhood.
The Levy Mansion and the demolished property at 43rd and Baltimore are the two

Dear Martha:
Vices for sale in the neighborhood! What a great opportunity! Unfortunately,
while the possibility of acquiring some lust at a bargain price is very
tempting, I' afraid that my tendency to gluttonous behavior has made me far too

Hah! Rick, I went to the Nutter site and sent the emails as you suggested and
they were all rejected - they seem to have been regarded as spam. Nice way

Frank Chase's reassurances that the pesticide Roundup is safe to humans and
animals, are, I am sure, well-intentioned. But the very latest research, done
by independent, university-based scientists, makes a strong argument that the
dangers of this product have been grossly

I think there is indeed a relationship between the city's abrupt turnover of
the property in Susquehanna and what is going on in our neighborhood. Even
more apropos than Clark Park's immediate fate is, in my opinion, the
disposition of the property at 43rd and Baltimore, once

In this case, however, she shot herself in the foot with a preposterously

I found SCRUB's message about Krajewski's proposed legislation in City
