Lock Up Yer Ladders!

An anonymous Wallyhood tipster sent this advice for discouraging those around the neighborhood with an underdeveloped sense of respect for other people's personal property: The first Police Notes item in today's the Herald-Outlook concerns a ladder that was left outside and then used by criminals to climb in an open 2nd story window at a nearby home. Folks, please, please put your ladders away inside your basement or garage at the end of the workday.  If you can't do that, then…

Upcoming public forums to discuss SHARE shelter

As previously reported on Wallyhood, the indoor homeless SHARE shelter opened yesterday at the Gift of Grace Lutheran Church. Following up from Sunday's notification meeting, Pastor Jami Fecher sent an email to all meeting attendees who wanted to receive a follow up communication.

Smash Wine Bar on Tippr

One of sponsors, Smash Wine Bar and Bistro, is the featured deal on Tippr today: $20 buys you $40 worth of food and drink. We've heard that these deals tend to sell very well. Some restaurants get overwhelmed in the days following the deal as everyone rushes to cash in. We heard Rain Sushi, for example, sold over 2,000 of these and struggled for a bit to keep up. Hopefully, Smash will have the "problem" of too many customers.
