Hello, Neighbors!
This month, Judge Henry Nowak, Housing Court, will be speaking on the important role of the law as a tool for neighborhood revitalization. Judge Nowak has a national reputation for being a proponent of firm judicial remedies to aid concerned shareholders with negligent property owners. He contacted the UHC out of an address before his court, 169 Highgate, which is a fraternity with chronic noise/party issues (thank you whomever called 311 !).
Secondly, several of us enjoyed this past Saturday morning planting cannas, potato ivy, and geraniums in the concrete barrel planters on Main. They are sure to be stunning as summer unrolls.
