I've got good news and I've got bad news...

...which do you want first? Okay, let's get the bad news out of the way. There are, once again, thieves afoot in our neighborhood. There was a motorized bicycle stolen out of a yard, not sure of the exact location. There was also a trailer stolen with some household items on it in the 4500 block of Birkenhead Road. Keep your eyes open folks for ANY kind of suspicious activity. People get away with this type of thing because they think no one is paying attention and all too often no one is.

Now for the good news - I was in Lake Shore Produce this afternoon and found out that they are going to start selling Barbeque! Yay! I have sooo missed the smell of Barbeque cooking since Black Jack's closed. I hear it's going to be delicious!

Hanging Chads??????

Okay, so the poll had quite the snafu... don't know why it wouldn't let people vote. It let me vote but then wouldn't record it. Grrrrr. But it's hard to complain too much about Blogger since it's free. So, in order to avoid having an extended kerfuffle and/or recount we will post the choices for Friday's movie night here and people can vote in the comments section.

Here is the slate of nominations for Friday's Outdoor Movie Night:

1. National Treasure
2. The Maltese Falcon
3. The Blues Brothers

Cast your vote in the comments section! 

Oops....

The second movie in the poll is supposed to be the Maltese Falcon... can't edit it because people have already voted. Sorry for the typo folks!

Thanks JEA!

Big thanks to JEA for getting their workers out to restore our electricity this afternoon. There were 52 homes without power for 3 1/2 hours on a hot July afternoon. I for one was ecstatic to see those big trucks roll in!

Time to pick July's Movie!

We need some suggestions for movie night this month. Our first summer movie night in June was terrific and everyone who came had a great time. So far someone has suggested National Treasure and perhaps a black and white from back in the day. Put your suggestions in the comments section or e-mail them to website@lapsjax.com and we'll put them up to a vote.

Summer Move Night is Coming!

Come join us on the 3rd Friday evening every month this summer when we will be showing movies up on Bayview Road on the back of the tire store. We will close off the block so bring your chairs and a snack when the sun goes down and enjoy a movie with your neighbors. You can vote for your pick in the poll above.

What's Happening?

Lots of things are happening in Lake Shore! We were recognized with an award ceremony for the restoration of our gates. Pictures are here, go take a look.

 We are also planning to have a movie night once a month during the summer. E-mail us at website@lapsjax.org (or put them in the comments section below) with your suggestions for movies you'd like to see with your neighbors on a warm summer night and we will put up a poll here on the blog with the most popular titles so everyone can vote.
