Re: [Chat] Fwd: Fwd: Another break-in
It is good to remind homeowners about windows, etc., during the warmer months. My comment relates to the fact that every meeting I go to, when crime comes up, it seems like the police and others are implying that somehow the victim is at fault. At our recent meeting at the CVCBD all I heard was that our block is too dark, people leave their windows open, etc. All valid points, but at some point, law enforcement and the CVCBD must be held accountable as well. I always hear about "increased patrolling" but never see it.

CVCBD tomorrow and Friday will be flyering a few blocks as notice to residents of the recent rash of break ins as well as some helpful preventative tips. On another note, please do not take it as an “excuse” in terms of windows and doors being left un-lock. Many break ins listed on the past 3 months of crime alerts the suspect have gained entry to properties through open windows or unlocked doors. We simply like to remind residents to double check every window and door in their household especially before they leave or in the evenings before winding down. Unfortunately we see more and more of this as the weather gets warmer. Northern District and CVCBD do offer the opportunity for residents to engrave their personal items with an engraver for a faster return of stolen items if they have been found. As well as walk throughs to suggest additional security measures in the home. Also our Wednesday NWOP walk (Neighborhood Walkers On Patrol) have been leaving additional flyers for preventative measures and notating broken street lights so we can continue to help increase safety measures here in the district.

If an arrest is made, Deputy Major Worley will let us know.Deputy Major Worley stated at a recent meeting that year to date crime in charles village is up about 15% simply due to an increase in burglaries. Robberies and larceny from auto are both down. He stated that the crime stats are lower above 28th Street where JHU Security Patrols. He stated that he has worked on segway patrols in the past in Mt Vernon and finds them a great tool for that area and would be a great tool for Charles Village.

[Chat] Another break-in
Our rash of break-ins around the 2600 block of Guilford continues. Yesterday afternoon around 3:00, someone broke into 300 E. Lorraine, the rehabbed house that was bought a few months ago by a young woman who lives there with her son. They broke in through the basement (like most of the other ones that occurred on the 2600 block of Guilford) and stole a laptop, children's clothes and attempted to steal the flat screen TV but was unable to carry it (thankfully). She has an alarm but they got away before police arrived. And, no, her windows were not open or any of the other excuses the Northern Police District likes to give. Her house was secure with an alarm in broad daylight.

Does anyone have any recommendations of how to donate clothes? Tried the shelter on St Paul and they are not interested. Tried Purple Heart and they never came today after we drug out all the boxes last night. Called and they said if they cannot see it from the street they don't stop. As you all know in Charles Village our built-up porches make it impossible to see something from the street unless I put it on the steps where inevitably people would rummage through it.

[Chat] Police frustration
OK, just had a scare and frustrating experience with the police. While relaxing on our back porch saw a guy climbing our back fence. I yelled at him and he said he was there to get his dope. He apologized and said he'd never come back. He grabbed his bag and left quietly. I went out there and found another bag of pot. Called the police. Guy returned, tried to scale our fence looking for what he left behind. Paul yelled at him and he asked to speak to Paul, who obviously refused. Called 911 again. Cops finally came 20 min. later. Officer could care less. Gave him the pot, he took my name and DOB. I asked if he wanted to see the back and told him that the druggie was here 5 minutes ago and he could care less and left. Extremely rude and uncaring. If anyone has the name of the No. District contact, please forward. This is unacceptable.

I opened the inner door but not the outer security door which can only be opened with a key. On my porch were a couple, a black male and a white female, college age or more likely a little bit older. They said that they had the wrong person. A few minutes later, I opened the inner door again. The couple were still there, and the man asked me to open the outer security door. I refused. He then tried to sell me on saving money by switching to a guaranteed fixed electric rate instead of paying BGE. I told him that I was not interested, even though he persisted until I ended the conversation. He was carrying a notebook. The woman basically was silent. Something did not add up. How can they have the wrong person and then try to sell me something? And why were they still there? Anyway, I reported it to 911, to a JHU cop who was parked across the street a few minutes later, and to Northern District police who came moments later in response to my 911 call. They said that they would be looking for the couple. I do not know whether, if I had opened my security door, the couple would have rushed in to grab something in my house or worse. I have seen a report that in a nearby neighborhood, people have rung doorbells and asked for someone who does not exist on that block. When they have found a house where nobody is home, they have broken in. I write all this to urge that everyone be very careful about opening a door to a stranger. And if things really do not add up but look suspicious, call 911. What I encountered this evening may be legitimate, but my guess is that it is not. And if it is part of a knock, run in and grab something, and run scheme or some other scheme, the police will definitely appreciate your giving them a heads up on what is happening. After all, the cops cannot be everywhere, so we have to be additional eyes and ears for them. Northern District does an excellent job, but we need to give them all the help we can.

[Chat] Appliance repair
We have a very old refrigerator and recently bought an automatic ice maker for it (from an appliance store in Pennsylvania who specializes in Amana and had the part to fit our model number). A water line was already hooked up for it, so we suppose the previous owners of our house took it with them for some reason. Problem is (we think) is that the water regulator is malfunctioning as it brings in water but won't stop (we since shut off the water line to prevent a flooding). We need an appliance repair person. Does anyone know of a good one?

Giant was founded by a kosher butcher named Isidore Cohen who lived somewhere in the DC/Baltimore area, but before he died, he sold Giant to Royal Ahold which is a Dutch Company. After that, in my opinion, Giant went downhill. I have been told that Stop Shop, a chain in Massachusetts also acquired by Royal Ahold and now part of the same division of Royal Ahold as Giant, has also gone downhill in quality of service to customers. A few years ago, Royal Ahold was caught cooking its books i.e. pretending to be more profitable than it was. That involved stores in South America, not in the U.S. Personally, I will continue to shop at Giant for the things that I cannot readily get at the farmers' market. But I tend to buy a lot at Whole Foods (expensive often, I know, but worth it to me for the quality and for products that cannot be found at Giant or Eddie's, and Whole Foods is an American company), and I often go 3 blocks to Eddie's rather than 6 blocks to Giant. Safeway pulled completely out of Baltimore City some years ago, then moved back into the City when it opened its store in Charles Village. My impression is that its prices are higher than those at Giant. As much as I hate Walmart, I expect it to have a good effect on prices at Safeway. Giant reportedly lowered its prices because too many of its customers were driving to a Walmart. Steve.

One of her housemates had just walked in from the back alley and had seen 2 men with hoods and then as she went inside she heard shots and went back outside and one of the men was dead. She spent hours with the police telling them what she saw and heard. She is freaked out, but the rest of them are doing alright.

[Chat] Used car
A couple of months ago, I got notice from my repair place that my car needs a lot of work, and it's getting to the point that spending any more money is fruitless. So, tired of renting cars and taking cabs to make do, we must begin the dreaded search for a car. Since we are on a tight budget and dealers offer few decent cars for under $11,000 it seems, I thought I'd ask if you know of anyone out there looking to sell a car in Charles Village?

There we met a neighbor who was able to ID the house and the police are going to talk to the owner now. Baltimore City Animal Control has also been in touch thanks to the Animal Cruelty Task Force who saw Paul's original email. Thank you so much for all your kind words and action!

[Chat] Beware dog owners or walkers in general
As I was walking my dog tonight at 27th and Guilford, I encountered a lady with two medium-sized dogs. As I crossed their path, one of her dogs (it was a black mid-sized dog) chased after my elderly greyhound, who fell in the street and hurt his hip again (he's still limping hours later). This is not the first time we've encountered this unfriendly and irresponsible dog owner, who shrugged off my complaint to her to please control her dogs. I reminded her that she needs to have her dogs on a leash (she puts them on leash only when encountering other dogs). I'm not sure if her aggressive dog is only so with dogs or also with humans, but be careful out there if you see her. -Greg Greg Alexander Freelance Writer/Editor Editor, Mason-Dixon Arrive 2629 Guilford Avenue Baltimore, MD 21218 410-243-3387 ugagra...@yahoo.com www.gregoryjalexander.com ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/

I was not trying to equate the two variables; rather, stating that we had a good time and it was a good exercise for us, especially considering that those of us in lower CV receive little support and feel on our own most times, so we must band together.

Paul and I will be providing wine, soft drinks and will have some snacks on hand, too. We will also be selling signed copies of the book ($21.99 for the book, as well as a special CV gift set for $25). We'll accept cash, checks as well as credit/debit cards.

Re: [Chat] Just some thoughts
Sonja, I love the sweeping idea and Front Porch Fridays. My partner meets with police regularly in DC with his job and having eyes on the street is the No. 1 thing the police recommend to fight crime. As you say, if there are people outside (especially in cold weather), crooks will go elsewhere. We have been sitting outside more and more on our front porch on Fri and Sat nights (with a bottle of wine) to keep an eye on neighbors. I hate cold weather, but I can put on a bulky jacket, right? Great ideas - keep them coming and let's take back our neighborhood! Greg Alexander Freelance Writer/Editor Editor, Mason-Dixon Arrive 2629 Guilford Avenue Baltimore, MD 21218 410-243-3387 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.gregoryjalexander.com --- On Thu, 11/20/08, Sonja Kinzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Sonja Kinzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chat] Just some thoughts To: chat@charlesvillage.info, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, November 20, 2008, 12:27 PM Hi again, I was up a lot last night thinking about some things we could do to really send a message that this is a neighborhood that is extremely community oriented and more importantly, watchful. I am certain that this string of crimes has come after a lot of observation. If criminals know that there are too many people milling around, they wont commit crimes here, period. To that end, I've come up with three suggestions that I hope will encourage us to be more proactive and give us something concrete we can do to immediately make a difference. The first is pretty straight forward. Here is a link to some very inexpensive signage (between $10 - $20) on eBay: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40_trksid=m38.l1313_nkw=neighborhood+watch+signs_sacat=See-All-Categories I am purchasing at least one for my back garage/fence and perhaps another for the front. Having a simple sign that reads, NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH AREA is one of the simplest ways to do something now. Police studies consistently show that crime is decreased in Watch areas. Whether we actually do set up an official neighborhood watch program or not, the signs will at the very least give a criminal pause. My second suggestion came about 3am...so bear with me! How about we start a clean sweep program? Yes, I'm actually suggesting fighting crime with a broom! How can one do this, pray tell? Well...first we establish a standard schedule. Monday -8am Tues-9am, Wed 10am, Thursday 3pm Friday 4pm. Okay...so everyone who is available on those days...those times...takes to the steps and...er...sweeps! Hear me out! What we need more than anything is a neighborhood with lots of visible NEIGHBORS! Criminals will NOT stop and carjack/rob/assault when there are lots of people on the street. We can't be parked outside our homes all day, but we can do what we can, right? Besides, it could be a lot of fun in an old school, throw back sort of way. It's 9am...you head out front...turn to your neighbor, give a wave and start your day...not bad. There are many things we can do out front...sweep the stairs, sweep our dusty porches...clean those doors...whatever. The point is to make it a regular thing and our grandmother's would be proud. Will you join me for the Clean Sweep challenge? Weekends aren't a biggie. These criminals like the weekdays. For those of us that work 9-5...I didn't leave you out! This brings me to my third suggestion: Charles Village, FRONT PORCH FRIDAYS! I thought about suggesting this closer to the Spring, but heck...why not? Basically the idea would be that on Friday's anytime between say, 6pm-8, we (this time of year) bundle up...take our cup of coffee/cocoa and adjourn to the front porch. I live on the 2700 block of Guilford...maybe perhaps we invite our neighbors on the 2600 and 2800 blocks to walk over and visit. That's the idea. Then the next week...maybe we take a walk and visit someone else. It could be a fun way to get to know everyone and the presence of people on the street would be terrific for crime-fighting...So there it is...broom combat and porch hopping...Are we interested in trying them out? Tomorrow is Friday...and I can sweep at 4...hope you'll join me or you can just drive by and laugh:) Either way, we're out there and doing something.

Re: [Chat] Not to be an alarmist, but...
Good job Sonya! I am making a deliberate attempt to not only be aware of my surroundings but to also be deliberate about it hoping it will clue in crooks that the neighborhood is on the lookout.

I have often heard the police say that the criminal will only go after the easy mark, i.e., someone who is not paying attention and who they can catch off guard. You have demonstrated a good example for all your neighbors. The only other thing you could have done that would have been helpful would be to get the license plate number of the suspicious vehicle and call 911 to report the incident. Officers on duty would pick up that 911 call which might constitute probable cause for them to stop the vehicle for questioning. That would send a signal to the criminals that we have a tight network in Charles Village and that the chances of getting caught are too risky to continue it as a target area for them. I am passing this information on to David Hill at CVCBD at 410-235-4411 so that their safety patrols can contact Northern District police to alert them and to look out for the vehicle you have described. That is something you can also do in the future after calling 911. Sharon L.

There wasn't anyone on the street except on of our neighbors leaving. So as I'm getting out of my car, I notice a red/burgandy car coming from Whitridge and turning right, stopping at the light on 28th and Guilford. To my surprise, the car, full of men then put their car in reverse. ( I am already on the other side, getting ready to get my baby out of her seat). They went in reverse all the way to Whitridge and then turned toward me, slowing down. It was very intentional and then they covered their faces and sped off. I don't know if they had mal intent or what, but I thought I'd pass it on for whatever it's worth. My gut feeling was that they were doing this because they either saw me or my neighbor. I think when they realized there was more than one person on the street, they took off. The fact that they were covering their faces before they left tells me they weren't up to any good. The car was a four door, red/burgandy smll sedan. There were 5 men in the car, a couple with baseball caps...

Finally, it did arrive, and a slice was missing. It looked as though someone had eaten a slice of our pizza. Also, one slice was upside down on top of the other slices. It was really creepy, and we threw out the pizza. Janet called, and first was on hold until she gave up. She called again a few minutes later, and spoke to the manager. He was apologetic and offered to send another pizza, but at that point we had no appetite for pizza. In fact, if we had known how long it would take for the pizza to arrive, we would have cooked something ourselves, but we had decided that that would take too long. It would have been faster.

[Chat] 2625 Guilford
Great news! Renovation has begun at 2625 Guilford! The house was purchased by St. Ambrose from the City and has been abandoned for 10 years and has always been the eye-sore of the block, not to mention a common place for people to dump trash and for juveniles to hang out and smoke pot. They have already made tremendous progress (I peaked in a window). And, with the recent renovation next door at 2623 (which really needed it) this is very exciting news in what has been a rough spring with all the crime on our block and surrounding blocks. See ya'll at the Festival!

[Chat] Crime wave continues in lower CV
For the second time in three weeks, we just heard 5-6 gunshots within a block of our house on Guilford (at 9 p.m. on a gorgeous evening). About seven cop cars responded, which is good. Meanwhile, the house at 2622 Guilford has become a full-time drug house with a constant stream of cars coming to the house, double parking and going in for drugs as I smell the daily smell of marijuana smoke as I walk the dog. Also, a group of four 12-year-olds harassed me as I walked the dog, one of them carrying a metal baton (I later saw him duck in the bushes, undoubtedly to assault a future passer-by). I call the cops but nothing happens. Ahhh, life in the Village. Isn't it grand?!

Re: [Chat] Power company rep
Thanks, Rob. He seemed like he was on the up and up (not a scammer) but I was still not interested. Thanks for the info! --- Rob Carlson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: They're a wholesaler. Their whole schtick is to sell you a electricity package that's more analogous to a fixed rate with overages cell phone plan than a pay-as-you-use like your current BGE service. They come out because under deregulation, if you buy their package they can force BGE to buy a bigger share of their wholesale power generation. Not to be overly cynical, but I assume these guys have done a ton more math than the average consumer and you're not likely to actually turn any savings in the end on the complicated plans they sell no matter what you pick. -- Rob Carlson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vees.net/ On Tue, 15 Apr 2008, Greg Alexander wrote: Has anyone else had a guy come around today in a yellow embroided company shirt saying he was with the company who supplies power to BGE?

Just a reminder of the threat of violence here in CV. My neighbor here in the 2600 block of Guilford Avenue just informed me that a renter on our block was held up at gunpoint at 2 a.m. this morning as he was unloading his car. Two African-American males held a gun to his face and demanded his cash. Luckily they did not take his car or harm him in any way.

Also available in unlimited quantity from the buffet were fried and barbecued chicken, pepper steak, rice, corn, grits, French toast, pancakes, and a lot of other goodies. We enjoyed everything we tried. The meal was $18 for each of us, plus tax and tip. For what we got, it was a very good value. We also looked at the lunch and dinner menus, and both appeared to be very good. In short, we have a great asset in our community. We need to support it. It is unfortunate that there are check cashing establishments and other businesses nearby that do not add to the ambiance of the neighborhood.

[Chat] Books for kids
CV neighbors, Full disclosure: I am a fan of the Oprah show and TiVo it every day. Yesterday's show was about this former Microsoft senior executive making millions and millions of dollars each year, who one year visited Nepal and learned that there were kids in Nepal - and all over the world - who were dying to learn and read but simply had no books (they fought over Dr. Seuss' books when he brought them). He quit his job and founded a nonprofit to deliver books and to build libraries and schools all over the world. So far, he has collected 3 million books, started 287 schools, established 3,600 libraries and funded more than 2,000 long-term scholarships for girls in third-world countries. His big thing is that there are 770 million illiterate adults in the world, two-thirds of whom are women and girls, so the circle will continue as illiterate women are unable to teach their children. He and Oprah have partnered where $1 donation buys a book. As a bibliophile, the show spoke to me. I made a donation to his charity (Room to Read). A friend of mine contacted me about the show. She lives in Barre Circle (near Camden Yards). She started a localized version of this idea months ago as her neighbor is a City schoolteacher in a low-income neighborhood. She and I meeting this week to discuss growing her grassroots program, as the show spoke to her, too. Of course, I want my efforts to support CV-area schools. Does anyone have any insight on how to do this at Margaret Brent and Barclay? Shall I contact the VLP? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[Chat] Crime update
I wanted to share a couple of incidents that have occurred here in the 2600 block of Guilford, as I feel the more we all know what's going on with each other's areas, a stronger community we can be. So, what that in mind: My neighbor's house was broken into on New Year's Eve around 6 p.m. He was home and found someone in his office who stole his cell phone. He struggled with the man but he got away. No weapon on him and my neighbor said the guy smelled like alcohol. Also, last night, some neighborhood kids (3-4 of them, mid teens) shot a BB gun at my partner and I on our back porch (which is luckily screened). We called the police but not sure what - if anything - happened. -Greg Greg Alexander Freelance Writer/Editor Editor, Mason-Dixon Arrive 2629 Guilford Avenue Baltimore, MD 21218 410-243-3387 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.gregoryjalexander.com Cheap talk?

[Chat] Jones Fall Sewer project
So, is anyone else going crazy with this sewer project? It goes down 27th Street and this week they are tearing up 27th at Guilford by my house. It's absolutely horrible! I work from home and at several times during the day, the whole house shakes. We were given no notice about this by the city (only those located within 100 feet of 27th Street were according to the Peabody Heights Assoc.), and luckily we were both home when they started yesterday, as when they are drilling, the house shakes and things started to fall off walls and move on shelves, some of which were family antiques. Luckily we were home so that we could grab these things and put them away. Not to mention that the shaking of the house will cause damage to the foundation, I'm sure. I see that the Community Law Center has offered to help but I wonder if our being more than 100 feet away (just barely) matters. http://cityservices.baltimorecity.gov/dpw/jonesfalls/pd.html http://www.peabodyheights.org/ This sucks. -Greg Greg Alexander Freelance Writer/Editor Editor, Mason-Dixon Arrive 2629 Guilford Avenue Baltimore, MD 21218 410-243-3387 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.gregoryjalexander.com Any questions?

Re: [Chat] [Discussion] Jones Fall Sewer project
Thanks! I actually fired off an email to the community liaisons for this project today. --- Linda Forlifer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you read the Contractor Conformity document on the city public works website, you'll see that it mandates both vibration and rat control, in addition to many other details. So nearby neighbors might want to bring their problems of things falling off of shelves to the attention of the city (public works, city councilperson). The document says: Contractor will at all times monitor construction vibrations with two seismographs. If vibrations exceed specification levels, Contractor must alter method of construction. Public Works, Solid Waste, Housing, Health and the Mayor's Office of Neighborhoods [have] developed and placed in effect a rat baiting and control program in the affected communities. In addition, the City has developed a public educational outreach program for Rodent Control. You neighbors should have heard about these things.

This was a cooperative food store located on 31st, maybe where Normal's is now? It was a wonderful place to get fresh produce and especially grains and granolas. Also does anyone remember the pickup games - softball and football staged by the New Democratic club members. They were coed with Joe Clark (Mary Pat's husband), Frank Heinz, and many others participating. The pick up games were at the Hopkins campus in front of the Wyman Park Hospital area which was soon (10 years later) to be paved over into a parking lot and they are still building away. At the end of the sports era, most of the politicos were gone and another group continued to play ball. There was a time when Johnny Unitas, having retired from the Colts scrimaged with the group. I guess he was just looking for something to do, especially if it involved a football. He also played a few games of softball in which he witness my last game. After a long run I caught up to the ball but put my hand into the glove prematurely, thus a broken finger. The appearances by Johnny U. are hard to believe for some people but I will swear to the fact. Maybe someone else remembers them too.

Does anyone know of anyone who has lost a Himalayan-looking cat?

Re: [Chat] Attempted break in
I'm sorry to hear that Kathleen. I know that is quite scary. We got a call on at 9 on Saturday night from our alarm company (we were at PJs enjoying a pizza and beer) that our alarm was going off. My partner and a friend came home to check on it as we assumed that it was a false alarm. No, in fact, as someone threw a rock through the front window breaking the storm and main window (luckily we have glass break sensors on the windows). The cops were great (they actually got here the same time as Paul who was only seven blocks away). They searched the entire house but they believe that it was probably just vandalism as it would not make sense for a break-in attempt to break a front window at 9 on a Saturday and only use a small rock. I did not sleep on Saturday but have adjusted now. It has been more of an inconvenience that anything else having to replace the glass in both windows. Stay safe! -Greg --- Kathleen Wilsbach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sunday night someone attempted to break into our back second floor bedroom.

The next day when I pulled up the blinds in the bedroom, a small flower pot on our outside bedroom windowsill had been moved. Then I noticed that the screen was pushed up and a plastic chair on the balcony was moved to be in front of the window (so someone could stand on it presumably). We did call 311 and they send a couple of officers to come and look. They were very nice but didn't take a report. They said they'd make a note to put our house on some sort of special watch list for a couple of nights. We don't have stairs from our back 1st floor deck to the second floor one but the house next door is 3 apartment so they have connecting steps (required by fire law to have a back exit from every apartment). I assume the person came up there stairs and climbed over the rail separating our two decks but was then scared away when Emil called to me. Very scary.

Re: [Chat] New Trinidatian eatery in CV
Excellent! Thanks! --- Stephen J Gewirtz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The Trinidad Gourmet just opened today at 418 E. 31st St., where Nancy Smith's antique shop was. It is a carryout shop, but it has a small area where you can eat if you choose to. I walked past it about 9 a.m. and saw that a sign said Open. Since I love Caribbean food and especially goat meat, I went there for lunch. I took home their curried goat and a bottle of ginger beer (total cost including tax: $9.98; there is no jar for tips, so that was the total cost). The curried goat comes wrapped in a type of bread (thicker, larger and fluffier than a tortilla), and it comes with chick peas. I am happy to report that I found it very tasty. It had a mild curry. Their menu lists quite a variety of foods including chicken, beef, goat, fish, shrimp and vegetables. They are open for breakfast (and I am not at all familiar with their breakfast dishes, but look forward to trying them). Their hours are not yet posted, but the menu refers to breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food, like much of Caribbean food, can be described as Indian with a Caribbean accent. The portion of goat curry was large, so if I want to lose weight, I cannot eat there too often. One reason I eat in as much as I do is that I can control how much I eat that way. To sum up, we have an excellent new eatery in the neighborhood. Let's support it.
