Fall Leaf Collection

The City of Toledo has published the fall leaf collection schedule.  They are planning to start pick-up for 43606 on Wednesday, Nov 14th. You can find the full schedule here. 

Quote from the info page

"Please have your leaves raked to the lawn area between the sidewalk and curb or just behind the curb (or placed in the garbage cans during the regularly scheduled garbage pick-up) not more than two days before the scheduled date of leaf pick-up. If no lawn space is available behind the curb, place leaves in small windrows at the curb. Placing leaves in the street too early creates a slip hazard during rain and wet conditions."

I will say that last year or the year before, we missed leaf collection because they were several days ahead of schedule and we were waiting until the day before to rake for whatever reason. This year I will be sure to have our leaves ready to go the weekend before, even though they only say 2 days.  I do like their tip about keeping leaves on the grass behind the curb though. Leaf season makes narrow roads even more narrow when everyone puts them out into the road, especially doing so several weeks ahead of time.

See you out raking!

Fall Potluck

Come on out for our final potluck of the year!  The weather is getting cooler, the days are getting shorter, and it may be our last chance to get together outdoors until spring. This time we are going to have the potluck at lunchtime (11am - 1pm) before the day gets too chilly. If anyone needs a warm drink, I can pull out the extension cords and put on some coffee or maybe I can rig up the coffee pot to warm some apple cider for us - yum!

See you Saturday the 13th at 11am on the Bretton Place cul-de-sac.  Bring a dish to share, a chair, and come chat with your neighbors for a bit.

Crime Alert

A grocery store near the University of Toledo was robbed Tuesday night by a man who claimed to have a knife in his pants.
A clerk from Schorlings Five Star grocery, 3115 W. Bancroft St., told police that a man came into the store at 8:40 p.m. and demanded cash.
He reportedly told the clerk, “I don’t want to stab nobody. I don’t want to hurt nobody,” according to a police report.
The man grabbed an undetermined amount of cash from registers and fled on foot to a car parked in the 2100 block of Brookdale Drive.
The man is described as black, 6 feet 2 inches, 220 pounds, with black hair. He was last seen wearing sunglasses, a white T-shirt, orange reflector vest, black shorts, and black boots

Happy 4th of July!
