Clearly I’m a bit late to this super old breaking news. But when I paid for this item at McCartney’s I thought the total sounded a bit high. The price tag said $21.99 but I had to pay $26.19. It wasn’t until later that I noticed this little ...read more

Details are incoming, here, but I thought I’d circle back to the parking lot/parking plaza issue at Highland Park Presbyterian Church, in anticipation of its Aug. 10 review. Seems University Park city staff isn’t too keen on the notion of a gazebo — as proposed for said lot — that would face the church and feed in to a ...read more
