This Week in Cleveland Park Listserv
One of the best parts of our neighborhood is the small town atmosphere that the Cleveland Park Listserv helps to create. Each Friday we will pull out some (possibly out of context) gems from the Listserv to share with our neighbors and friends. We hope these outtakes of the neighborhood news will get you ready for another great weekend in Cleveland Park!
Unwanted alarm clocks…
This is a plea to the owner of Toyota Camry AE 6342, parked on the 3000 block of Rodman Street: Please disable your alarm. Your alarm goes off repeatedly (without cause) … The police have been here, but are unable to do anything about it. There are numerous notes on your car.
Call me incredulous…
We are huge fans of Chipotle and turn to them often for carryout when we’re in a hurry or just too busy to cook! Lots of choices, easy to stay on a low fat, low cal eating program, and they don’t use much salt.
Ok,record straight…
I like Chipotle, but I don’t think I’ve ever before seen someone describe its food as low-calorie and certainly not as low-salt. That doesn’t correspond to the nutrition info I’ve seen about it.
Classical ionic Pepco meters…
I’m upset that DC has said no to solar panels on the roof of a Cleveland Park house. The no vote is backward thinking. There is a lot of technology visible from the street that’s not historic: Pepco’s smart meters, window air conditioners, central air conditioning units, cable TV wiring, satellite dish receivers, for example. From what I read in the Current, these solar panels are about as unobtrusive as things get. Historic doesn’t mean no change.
Sound economic advice…
It’s understandable that we, as incumbent car owners in these neighborhoods, would worry about new residents competing with us for the parking spaces on our blocks. But a fair solution to the problem of residential parking scarcity would be to price RPPs at their true market value, instead of giving them away for $25/year.
Don’t even know where to go with this one…
Make sure you remain supportive of him, because it’s probably much harder for him to pretend he’s in a relationship with you (or has sexual feelings towards women more generally) than it is for you to deal with the fleeting discomfort you feel whenever the subject comes up… One suggestion you might provide is the one-two punch of having him tell his parents you broke up (aaah! the tragedy of young love gone awry…) and blocking his mother from viewing his photos on Facebook.
