Still no word on Stella's return, but Jasmine sent in this picture she happened to snap of the little girl earlier this week. Keep your eyes peeled!

Jai Wiliamson, owner of the Durn Good Grocery (4002 Wallingford Avenue North) tells us his dog, Stella, is gone.

Reader Janine sent us the following note: This calico cat has been living on our porch at 43rd and Woodlawn for most of the last two weeks. It’s desperate to come inside and be part of our family, but we are unable to accommodate it. The cat appears to be well fed, though we have never fed it.
