We get lots of "I lost my..." e-mails. We try to post some of them, but most we direct to the Forums. This one, though, well, we'll make room for it. Zeek writes: I live on 4016 Wallingford AVE W and recently had a large prop-cannon stolen out of my front yard.

Breaking ground at the pit?

Reader Mike tells us that he spoke to someone who will be working on the foundation; and recently, he and his fiance spoke with a Geo Engineer who said that work may start on or around January 17.  Mike told us that the neighbors in the immediate area have not yet been officially notified. At this point, nothing…
