Re: [Chat] ...auto service nightmare!...
Emil and I also use Brentwood for our regular repairs and have been happy. We used to just have our old 88 Civic. We didn't buy a fancy sports car but we now have a 94 Prius. Anyway we love the Prius except the rear visibility sucks. I've backed it into things twice. And then it also got side swiped. For body work, we've been very happy with the Baltimore Body Shop right there on Sisson street and the 83 exit ramp. Nice work and good people. Their motto is Where you meet the nicest people by accident. http://www.baltimorebodyshop.com/ Geico once sent us to the place that's connected to Anderson Honda and we weren't happy with them. -Kathleen ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info
[Chat] Free TV/Stereo table
Emil and I have upgraded to real wood. Available is an IKEA low table that you can have your TV sit on. It has a pull out shelf for a VCR or DVD player and side compartments for LPs. Yes, it's that old. It is a dark cherry stain veneer.

[Chat] Foudn Dog
On Memorial Day weekend my neighbors found a little dog. He looks like a cross between a Chihuahua and a Boston Terrier. He is black and white and a bit overweight. He is neutered and looks at least middle aged. If anyone has any information on who this dog might belong to, please let me know. He looked vaguely familiar to me like I'd seen him around before. -Kathleen -- Kathleen Wilsbach 3040 Guilford [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info
[Chat] Attempted break in
Sunday night someone attempted to break into our back second floor bedroom. Emil was already in bed (about 2:30 AM) but I had gotten up to check a scheduling problem I thought I might have Monday and was on the computer in the front second floor room. Emil called to me asking if I had heard something. I called back that I hadn't. We chalked it up to noise from next door or out in the alley. 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. So, be aware and watchful. -Kathleen -- Kathleen Wilsbach [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info

It's not exactly a position with a lot of upward mobility so understandably most people don't want to stay in that kind of job forever. I'm sure Pete's will continue to be very popular. We'll definitely still eat there as well. I get the impression that a lot of their customers come on foot and 27th and Howard is a bit far to be cutting into that customer base. And the two sisters is a place you can go with a group and all sit at a table. You can't do that at Pete's so they are filling a need that Pete's doesn't. I don't think you have to choose one or the other. We also sometimes eat at the New Wyman Park Restaurant but they aren't open on the weekends. Sometimes we go out for breakfast to Carme's, and when we want to splurge, to Gertrude's. Oh, and to the Thirtea First Street Cafe too. And there's also the Paper Moon. They all fill a slightly different breakfast niche for me. -Kathleen On Dec 22, 2006, at 12:00 PM, Emil Volcheck wrote: Hello, neighbors, Today the Two Sisters Grille opened at 27th and Howard. Kathleen and I just returned from eating a late breakfast there, and we were favorably impressed. We had eggs, home fries, blueberry pancakes, and a waffle. They were all quite tasty and were just as good as at Pete's Grille. The home fries and blueberry pancakes were excellent. The service was also fast (probably because there were only six customers total). Two Sisters is open every day of the week from 7 to 7 Sunday through Thursday, and 7 to 11 Friday and Saturday. The phone number is (410) 467-0550. Debbie and Cathy started the Two Sisters Grille. They both worked at Pete's for about twenty years. A few years ago they had the idea of starting their own place. About four or five months ago is when they learned that the Korean bar, 1.7th Generation, would be closing and that the property would become available. The place still very much looks like a bar. The restaurant has two levels: a wooden bar up front, and tables on a raised area in the back. The kitchen is separate, so you don't get to see the cook working, but then there's also less smoke. The liquor license transferred over with no trouble. They don't have beer on tap yet but will soon. Lou (former owner of Pete's) was there today, giving advice and teasing them. Dialogue overheard: Lou: How much for one of your mugs? Cathy: five dollars. Lou: five dollars for a mug? Cathy: It's five dollars for the memories, which are priceless. Lou: Back at the other place, it was only two-fifty. Oh, wait, we jacked them up to five too! Also overheard: Lou (to a customer): Excuse me, you can't bus you your own table. We have waitresses for that. (Looks at Cathy) We have a great new restaurant in Charles Village.

Re: [Chat] [Discussion] Spaghetti Disco ?
I think the Charles Villager might have been the only place it was advertised, that and Chris Jensen's porch window. But Jensen's sign didn't have the time, just the date. So, when I couldn't find my CV on Saturday, I had to make a special trip to Eddie's to get another one. I tried the VLP website, The CVCA website, The CVCBD website and none of them had it listed. And I agree that John Spurrier is a great DJ. My only suggestion would be a few slow numbers in between for some cheek to cheek swaying and breath catching. Boy, Lisa Simione sure can dance. Also Josh and Amber looked very stunning in a powder blue tuxedo and a red velour bell bottom jump suit with rhinestones respectively. Wow!

Re: [Chat] found black cat on 2600 blk N. Hunter
For the past two evenings we've had a visotor... a nice, starving, small black female cat with a distinctive light spot near the tail. She is or was someone's pet -- she has a collar (with no information) on, and loves to approach people and be pet. She has had her claws removed -- a sure sign she was never meant to be outside. You can see a picture of her here: http://hssl.cs.jhu.edu/~eric/foundcat.jpg If any of you know anything about this cat, please let me know. Is that a pink elastic collar? I'm asking because the SPCA uses those (blue for males and pink for females) and I think a free collar comes with your adopted cat. The SPCA used to tattoo animals on the inside of their thigh with a number but they might have switched to a microchip. You can take the cat to almost any vet or shelter to have her scanned for a microchip. You can post a found cat on the SPCA website. http://www.mdspca.org/adoption/lostfound.html There are other more global sites like: pets911 http://www.tabbytracker.com/ -Kathleen Wilsbach ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/

Re: [Chat] floors and kitchens
What is the order-get a new kitchen and appliances then sand the floors or sand floors first then get the new kitchen. Can anyone recommend a reasonable and reputable home improvement person to rebuild a bathroom Judy I think floors are usually done last as the construction can cause scratching with all the heavy equipment and appliance moving. For kitchen and bath remodeling, I'd highly recommend Courtyard Kitchens. http://www.courtyardkitchensofhampstead.com/ They are based out in Hampstead but have a lot of experience remodeling in old rowhouses. They were originally recommended to me by a friend of a friend whose kitchen they remodeled in Hampden. They did our kitchen 2 years ago and were pretty quick and the quality of work was very good. Also very professional. Oh, and flexilbe. They were fine with letting me look for good deals and buy the appliances, flooring, tiles, lighting, hardware from wherever I wanted and they installed it.

Re: [Chat] [Discussion] Bad experience with Papa Johns Pizza
Our four favorite places for pizza are: Fortunato Brothers up by Wells Discount Liquors. They have a really great white pizza with chopped garlic tomatoes all over it. They do not deliver. Bella Roma in Hampden. Good basic pizza although sometimes a bit slow with the delivery. They were voted Best of Baltimore by someone or other at some point which is why we tried them. I'll also second the vote for Iggie's. This pizza is fancier with more gourmet type toppings like goat cheese and caramelized onions. Very thin style crust. Iggie's pick a different Baltimore charity every month to support, very community minded. We haven't tried them but they also sell uncooked pizzas to take home and bake. And last but not least, the portabella mushroom pizza from Harmony at the Waverly Farmer's Market. Wholewheat crust and lighter on cheese than most, so healthier but still very tasty. We usually keep two of their individual pizza's in the freezer for pizza emergencies.

Re: [Chat] Fw: [I-NEIGHBORS] Your Feedback Is Sought Regarding Opening A Local Hardware Store
I shop at Lowe's in Timonium and Bel Air (I go to a vet in Bel Air), Courtland Hardware in Bel Air, Home Depot on Perring Parkway, and Falkenhan's in Hampden. When we first bought our house in 2000, it came with one skeleton key for the outer front door (it has more substantial locks on the inner front door). I went to Falkenhan's and they opened a big drawer full of keys, picked out three likely candidates and told me to bring back the ones that didn't work (which I did). I also remember a trip to Home Depot when they couldn't figure out what kind of paint would be acceptable for painting my radiator. The guy helping me couldn't seem to grasp the whole radiator concept. I also buy plants at the Farmer's Market, and Greenfields, and some gardening supplies at Mill Valley Garden Center next to the dump on Sisson St. Cheryl, who runs the place, is super nice. I would definitely patronize a local hardware store. I shop at the Giant frequently but the other locations mentioned would also be OK. -Kathleen Wilsbach --- On *Wed, 1/7/09, JOSEPH STEWART /jstew...@dat.state.md.us mailto:jstew...@dat.state.md.us/* wrote: From: JOSEPH STEWART jstew...@dat.state.md.us mailto:jstew...@dat.state.md.us Subject: Your Feedback Is Sought Regarding Opening A Local Hardware Store To: ednorgardenslakeside21...@i-neighbors.org Date: Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 1:34 PM Dear Community members, Hello.

We divide our stores into the following departments; lawn garden, paint cleaning, electrical, plumbing, housewares, and hardware. We love to adapt our products to our neighborhoods' needs and will bring in almost any items that are requested by our customers. As we continue to do the research necessary to determine if this location is a good fit for us, we welcome any comments (both positive and negative) that you might have. I'm curious where everyone currently shops for their hardware and housewares items? Where are you buying things like plant pots, mulch, etc. Do you think the neighborhood would enjoy having a community hardware store?

[Chat] Found striped cat
This morning a small brown/grey striped cat (I think that is what people call tabby) was meowing incessantly at my back door (3040 Guilford in Hunter alley). I had to leave for a couple of hours and when I came back she (I'm pretty sure the cat is female) was still there. She seemed confused like she was looking for her house and wasn't sure which one was her's. The cat is small and might be an adolescent. If anyone has any guesses who she might belong to, I'd appreciate any leads. I can't keep her long because Emil is allergic and the rabbits are stressed by the constant meowing. She definitely doesn't fit the description of the two lost cat flyers I saw around the neighborhood (3-legged orange or black tuxedo). -Kathleen ___ Chat mailing list Chat@charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/chat@charlesvillage.info/

I have curly hair and she does a great job. Emil finally switched after a couple of bad haircuts at TenPachi. She really cares about her customers. She lowered her prices because she knew some of her customers were struggling in the bad economy. I haven't lost my job so I insist on paying the old rate. Also, for her long time loyal customers, she was giving free haircuts before their job interviews.

Re: [Chat] news needed for my Village Chat column
Kathleen Wilsbach and Emil Volcheck of the 3000 block of Guilford just returned from a wonderful vacation in Ireland. They were accompanied by Kathleen's 85 year old mother, Isabel, who lives in Havertown, PA. The visited the towns in County Cavan where Isabel's parents were born and grew up before emigrating to Philadelphia in the early 1900's. Her parents met and then married in Philadelphia where they raised 10 children. The next part of the trip was visiting Mary, the daughter of Isabel's Uncle Tom. She lives on the beautiful West Coast in the town of Fenit which is associated with Saint Brendan, who discovered America before Columbus (so claim the Irish). Mary was full of stories about family, growing up on a farm in Cavan, and running a BB in Fenit for many years.

Re: [Chat] Radiators
I have to disagree with Eric. I love our steam heat. When we had ducts put in for the central air, we left the radiators right where they were. Although the air in our house is still somewhat dry during the winter, I'll take steam over forced air any day. SS! I do agree that it's a good idea to hire an expert to deal with problems. When we've had trouble with our radiators, we've had very good service from Saffer plumbing. Faulty valves do need to be replaced if they're not working right. Also if the valve near the floor is leaking, it might need some new lamp wick which works as a sort of gasket. Sadly we had a leaking radiator that had to be replaced. Of course, you can't buy new but Saffer tries to keep a stock of used ones on hand for just such situations. When we first bought our house, David Saffer was very helpful in explaining the ins and outs of the steam heating system and giving it an initial tuneup.
