Re: Someone Bears False Witness to Merritt
So the guy that smashed the crap out of my car yesterday is sticking to his story with the insurance company. His version is that we were both at fault when he backed into the side of my car rendering the front and back passenger doors useless. Can this really be my fault? I think not.
Art Lambert Puts Your Dad to Shame
Sent from the Park Cities Y today:
The Park Cities YMCA is pleased to announce Art Lambert as the 2008 YMCA Father of the Year recipient. Art has been actively involved in the Park Cities YMCA since 1999, when he began coaching soccer for his daughters. During Art’s 18 different coaching seasons he has had the opportunity to not only impact his own children, but also the children of so many others in the community. He continues to teach the importance of respect, compassion and sportsmanship along with the skills of the sport, and models these characteristics in his own interactions.
Was Nordstrom Asking to be Robbed?
We’ve just posted our exclusive account of the NorthPark ATM theft from early this morning. From the sound of it, our local Nordstrom didn’t have the tightest possible security in place to prevent the crime. A snippet:
“That was the only ATM in the company that was close to a door like that that doesn’t have a roll-down metal door in front of it,” said Brooke White, a corporate spokeswoman for Nordstrom. “We just won’t replace the ATM there. We had it as a convenience for our (restaurant) customers.”
Re: Mad at the Bible Belt
My apologies to the Overheardian who sent me a photo of someone she said may be the same person that our staffer blogged about yesterday. Due to deadline concerns, I’ve had to delay posting the photo at left.
The same Overheardian commented on the earlier post. I take no responsibility for any of her comments.
UPDATE, 3:06 p.m.: Our staffer has confirmed that the woman pictured here is the same woman she bought turkey sliders for in Preston Center yesterday.
Scrabulous Opponent Needed
Just in case you can’t see the score on this unfinished Scrabulous game (Scrabble on Facebook, play a word whenever you log on or can’t sleep at 3 a.m. kind of thing) my score is 142, Overheardian commenter Bethany has 86. Um, your turn Bethany.
Btw, QUAG was my word.
Friends Don’t Chain Each Other Up, Got It.
A little bit ago I was driving behind a Parkie SUV with a bumper sticker that said “Friends don’t chain friends. Bring dogs inside.” There was a picture of a cartoonish dog on a leash that looked sad.
I don’t get it. Does that mean we’re to treat dogs like people? Can you not leave a dog outside with water and shade?
Re: Highland Park White
Remember the chick last week on Craigslist looking for a female hook-up? Well, I needed to know what she meant by “Highland Park white” so I sent this inquiry.
Hi. I saw your post on Craigslist and wondered what you meant by “Highland Park white.” I live in University Park , is it all the same to you? Just checkin’.
The response we’ve all been waiting for:
NorthPark is Safe … From Journalists
Reporter Josh Hixson was dispatched to NorthPark Center to look into the ATM theft at Nordstrom. Here’s what he found:
After taking a look at the scene of the crime near Nordstrom’s east entrance, I ventured into the mall to find some patrons willing to share their opinions on the third high profile crime to hit NorthPark in three months.
I talked to a nice woman and her daughter for all of two seconds before mall security was looking over my shoulder at my reporter’s notepad.
Brett Holbrook, a security guard at NorthPark, required backup to inform me of the following: (more…)
