Cafe Persia (near dd's) was pretty good, tasty and a lot of food.
According to the council member's representative, plans may be on hold due to the economy.
Hello
I just got back from walking the boundaries of HPNA. It took about an hour - at night, your mileage may vary.
I'd recommend trying it sometime, to really get an idea of what our neighborhood is like from ground level.
My rough calculations:
2.76 miles ( so avg speed 2.76 miles an hour :)
area of the neighborhood: about .31 square miles.

The appeal to allow the Fresh & Easy conditional use permit passed last Tuesday at the city council.
Post any other news about this here.
I caught up with the guy (in the midst of a sale). He said that he's had people receive magazines and that there are some out there who are scamming but not him.
Some good advice here - don't give the folks your number, but if you read it to the phone, at least you have a phone # responsible for the sale.
Now, a scam could be using the name of a legit organization. So these folks COULD be legit.
Or not.
'tower of power ripoff scam': http://www.ripoffreport.com/searchresults.asp?q5=tower%20of%20power&q1=ALL&q4=&q6=&q3=&q2=&q7=&searchtype=0&submit2=Search%21&Search=Search
Folks,
This evening, a guy was by who was in some fundraiser for "tower of power", a "publication drive" that is trying to net him some trip to Rome. I should have taken the material so that I have more details, but I told him no thank you when he said that yes, it was a solicitation. He said, "There will be more people coming by".
I ran after him later to get the company name, and told him that we are in a neighborhood organization that likes to know who is in our area.
If anyone sees them, perhaps get some more information.

Are you the person who decides when we can laugh and when we can not? Man I have been looking for you all my life. Please where and what time can I laugh?-guest
Actually, DO go ahead and laugh when you are hiding in back of someone else's property late at night. It will make it easier to spot you ahead of time, so we will know where to expect graffiti, beer bottles, and other trash.
I won't pay anyone anything on the spot (sometimes the people who paint the numbers.. if they actually paint it. ). We ask them if they have any literature they can leave or to send somethiing, often they do not. They want to make the sale right there.
I wonder if it would help to say, 'some of our neighbors were discussing groups like you.. know that we're concerned about these kind of sales in the neighborhood and are watching you'? maybe that's too threatening.
Saw this on a pole at Southwood@Columbo.

Can you define traffic calming? What does it involve, what are the implications?
I would think you could just say, 'lightpoles in the neighborhood'. Thanks for confirming the number, i've added it on my cell.
I heard (but didn't see) that there were reports of fresh graffiti towards Payne. I'll be taking a look and calling the hotline. How are other areas doing?
Hello,
I think the Tree Planting Day was this last Saturday. Can anyone give a report on it?
I've been trying to be out
in
the neighborhood more, on foot and by car. Hopefully I won't appear to be a suspicious person myself. I am trying to become more familiar with things, to be able to see what's out of place.
This evening (11pm) there was laughter coming from behind the walgreens. I called the police to take a look. It's not the right time or place for laughter.
I went to the Holders Country Inn, http://www.holderscountryinn.com/ - I don't know if 'diner-style' is a good way to put it, I would say Family Style. It's a family restaurant (for 51 years) and the food was good, and the staff fairly attentive, even very near closing time. It might be a good place to reach out to as far as community involvement, being so centrally located. It might make a good meeting place for small commitees, etc.Seems to be open 6:30a-9:30p
If you add this file to Google Earth ( http://earth.google.com/ ) it will show a shaded area where HPNA's boundaries are.
When you come out on the 'other' southwood turning onto Payne (letter 'A') you often can't see oncoming traffic ( <<<< ) because of cars, sometimes large vans, parked at the corner, marked out in red.
It would be great if it was actually painted in red, so that no-one would park there. Supposedly, many employees of the post office park in that area due to a lack of parking.
