Crime In The Area

Here is a link to a recent police report about a shooting in the Cheltenham area.

It's really terrible when these kind of things happen, but at least I can help the community by letting them know about recent crimes in the area so that they will be better prepared in case something happens.

The LaMott Community Garden May Be In Trouble!

It looks as though our beloved La Mott Community Garden may be in trouble!

The La Mott Community Garden now has a website which is where I found out about this.

For those of you that don't know, the La Mott Community Garden - rather the land that it sits on - is owned by Temple University. That land and the rest of the Temple University's Tlyer School Of Art property is currently up for sale!

At the last community meeting back in June we were informed that there is currently no buyer for the property.

An Old Video Of Temple Students Moving In (Or Are They Moving Out)

Here is a short video that I took a very long time ago. I noticed that it was on my Youtube page but I had not posted it here.

Of course this was taken a very long time ago when there were still students attending Temple's Tyler School of Art. Of course if you have not heard Temple has now moved the students to their campus on Broad Street by Broad and Cecil B. Moore.

The school and the surrounding site are now up for sale - which includes the community garden as well.

The Cheltenham Unemployed Meetup Group!

Here is an interesting group that I have found online! It is called the Cheltenham Unemployed Meetup Group.

While it is supposed to be a group to help the unemployed find work, I have found that there are a few members on there that are using the group for their own purposes. However I don't think that this should spoil the main reasoning behind this group which is to help people find work - preferably in the Cheltenham and / or Philadelphia area.

Even though I work from home, I found this to be a very intriguing group and from time to time I do hear of job openings so this would be a great place to post such information.

If you would like to join this group you have to register to be a member but there is no charge to become a member. Here is a link to this group:

Actually the thefts are happening in and around this area as well.

It seems that cars parked at the Melrose Train station are being targeted and the police are advising people to take out or either hide all valuables located within one's car. The bulletin also offers some helpful tips to help you to not become a victim of one of these kinds of thefts.
