Come on. Just how many people lost their homes? I don’t see empty homes in my neighborhood. I’m sure there are some around the country but so many it has crashed all these companies? BS. Something else is going on.

we need to put this in the right wording.no one lost there home.they have to move out of a home that belonged to someone else.where they should never had been to start with.and probably left owing other people money that they do not intend to pay back.never buy what you cant afford.one of the first things i learned from my parents over 70 years ago.it always worked for me.and im sure many other people.and you can bet something else is going on.thats why we are where we are to day.

Cat Pizza Progress Report?

Posted by admin on February 7th, 2010 and filed under neighborhood pizza | 1 Comment »

I did figure out how to get cats to eat the lovely tuna, anchovie, and sardine pizza with alfredo sauce.

I put on my fluffy grey catsuit with the long whiskers head. I got on my hands a knees on the porch, and did a lot of meowing until the cats came around.

Then I put my "face" — my big cat face down and pretended to be eating the cat pizza.

They were interested. Has this guy finally gone round the bend, they would look quizzically at eat other with a slight tip of the face to one side.

Later, I showed them me eating a plate of fried chicken livers. Look at this I said, so yummy, it’s what I’m eating, you’ve got your cat pizza which I made for you so count your blessings.

Products in process include the sardine/liver shooter which is like a ping-pong ball shooter it uses compressed air which you pump up. There’s a banana clip that holds pieces of sardine and fried chicken liver. The idea is to ride through the neighborhood standing up through my sun-roof, and armed with the sardine/liver shooter and firing off lovely bits of delicious heaven at the local cats both tame and feral.

If I do this every day for a month and with a ice-cream truck set of bells, the cats will come out to greet me and get their tasty morsels as I go by, sort of like the beads at Mardi Gras, but different.

Who is with me — these are up and coming ideas — the bandwagon leaves at meow-time, better be on it!

My cat would eat pizza without prompting.

Is the MLK neighborhood in East Austin safe with regards to crime?

Moving here soon and need to know.

It’s one of the more unsafe areas of the city, but not the worst. Closely north of that is worse.

If there were one service business you wish was in ur neighborhood or wish were better in your area, which?

Posted by admin on February 7th, 2010 and filed under neighborhood services | 3 Comments »

I am interested in starting a part- time service business of some sort (as opposed to retail or import export). I am leaning towards something that would help moms out because I know many are overwhelmed with responsibility. Anyone have any ideas, what would you want in your neighborhood?

Automated recycling centers. In other areas I have lived, there were machines you could take your cans to for recycling and they would pay you. There are some recycling places in the area of California that I live, but they are always broken or full. Need more and better units.

Why do hispanic neighborhoods hate taking care of their property and areas?

Posted by admin on February 7th, 2010 and filed under neighborhoods | 7 Comments »

I live in Orlando and in Kissimmiee where alot of Puerto Ricans and hispanics/latins whatever they want to be called today live, the neighborhoods are disgusting. I mean you can cry to me your poor all day long, but it costs nothing to pick up trash off your front lawn and to clean. Have some pride in your neighborhoods.

Because they’re dirty. Have you ever heard of a Puerto Rican shower?

Best neighborhood in San Francisco to move to?

Posted by admin on February 5th, 2010 and filed under neighborhood cafe | No Comments »

What is the best neighborhood for a mid 20-something female with a dog to move to? Granted, I plan to find roommates and share a flat, but have no idea where to start looking. I’m looking to move to a neighborhood that is very walk-able, as I don’t have a car (which is probably a good thing in SF). I’d like to be able to walk to movie theaters, cafes, grocery stores, etc. And of course a neighborhood that fits my demographic (mid 20 something female post college).

Thanks!

The Avenues might be waht you wish, followed by teh Richmond District
