Movie Nights happen every other Friday night all summer long. The movies are free and family friendly. Everyone is invited. Bring a blanket or chair and a snack to the Lakefront Park; movies begin when it gets dark. (see flier below)
3rd Saturday Neighborhood Clean-Ups June 20, July 18, & August 15 at 9 am
Meet at the corner of Lake Shore and E. 149th. Bring a bag and gloves, clippers, a rake, or other favorite clean-up tool... Following the Clean-Ups, join your neighbors for a pot-luck cookout. Hot dogs/veggie burgers & beverages provided. Cookout at Bill & Ann Hogsett’s yard: 14915 Shore Acres.
Finally, some follow-up from our May neighborhood safety meeting, which was prompted by a series of break-ins throughout the neighborhood. Sargent Don Robinson attended the meeting. Below is a list of contact numbers he gave to our community to alert the police to unwanted activity in the neighborhood:
- Community services (to register complaints regarding quality of life issues like loud music, loitering, public drinking): 623-5620
- For special attention from the District office to a recurrent issue: 623-5500
- For non-emergency complaints: 623-1234
- For all emergencies (robbery in progress, for example): 911
- To follow-up on a reported crime, call the Detectives Bureau: 623-5518
The Sargent urged Shore Acres residents to continue to follow "common sense" safety practices, including keeping valuables out of sight, doors locked on homes and cars, lights on outside the home at night, and keeping an eye out for unfamiliar faces in the neighborhood.
We're happy to report that a suspect has been identified and captured for the break-ins in our neighborhood. We will let you know more as details are released.
