Pastor Merz (whose premises this felines call her place of enjoyment) writes:

Heather 

this may not be ny shitty worthy but it is important to me. Electra is like our baby. thanks.

Done! If you see something, say something— and spread the word!

UPDATE, April 15, 2013: I am pleased to announce Electra has found her way back home. Pastor Merz writes:

By the way, thanks all for the prayers and everything else…Electra came back. I think she was locked in someone’s basement. She looked like shit but smelled like bounce fabric softener

This festively fettled stop sign, while probably not fully appreciated by to whom it is dedicated, it was certainly the source of many smiles of passersby— including myself. Happy Birthday, neighbor!

A number of folks have asked me what is going to grace the above storefront (which, as you can see, was once a Polish Deli by the name of Beata). It will be a coffee shop and per its owner (a really nice lady named Clare) it should open in about three weeks. So there have you!

Propeller Coffee
Opening Date (estimated): May 1st, 2013

accident

Per witnesses the automobile on the left failed to stop at the stop sign on Green Street. Having lived on Green Street for no less than ten years I can attest that I have seen plenty of “accidents” such as this. We need either a stop light or some enforcement on this intersection. Seriously.

Hi Heather!

Mike & I smelled smoke and moments later there were lots of emergency vehicles at the corner of Clay & Manhattan. No one seemed to know what happened but someone was treated in an ambulance. And fireman were on top of the the three quarter house…
I have received word that no less than eleven fire trucks were called.
