thanks, Shawn. This is such a cool site!

Hey. :) Yeah, Penhurst had a block club with lots of active members for several years. When I first moved in (back in '98) it was going through an up-swing, reaching it's height in 2001. From 2002 through 2004 it decreased from about 25 active members down to about 5. Seems to wax and wane based on how upset people are about crime/drugs on or near Penhurst. The 99/2000 swing was a direct result of crack sales on Thurston, and the resulting robberies, vandalism, and garbage flowing down our street from there. After the '02 crime initiative that focused on cleaning up Thurston, the group slowly fell apart, as people became less involved.

I would love to catch you up on the history of the block club. I have lots of documentation, pictures, etc. :)

Cool. This is even formatted for my iPod touch.

yes, that was me. You have a good memory. I look forward to see you and Anthony at future 19th Ward events.

Thank you , Shawn, for having me as a member. I look forward to being an active participant of this online community.

Hi Shawn, Thanks for your message. As you surely know, the 19th Ward has a rich history of interaction with the UR, and I am working to build upon that through events such as the Brooks Landing Barbecue, and through established initiatives such as Wilson Day and the Rochester Urban Fellowship. I'm open to new ideas, too. Glad to make your acquaintance!

Hi, Shawn, I tried to enter our group and had difficulty. Perhaps you can assist me. We meet once a month the fourth Tuesday at 5:30 pm at 350 Arnett Blvd. Our next meeting is next week. I will ask my husband to assist me-he is more savy with this stuff. Susan

Hi, Shawn,

Thank you for setting this up. What a great way to start revitalizing the Ward and providing a place to tie together all the various people and groups and keep us connected.

Did a lot of improvements to the interior of my home this year, plan on working on the outside next year. The poor yard is in need of some TLC

Thanks for the welcome. I googled looking for answers as to why 7-Eleven is closed (where else will I ever get money orders, stamps, and chili dip at 2 am? lol) which is how I found this site. It looks like a good one to keep informed on neighborhood happenings so I'll stick around. =)

Hey Shawn, thanks for the welcome. This seems like a very cool site and a great way for the fraternity to stay connected. Looking forward to exploring the site some more.

Shawn,

Rather than a Chi Phi group, why not have one for U of R, as for RIT? The frat could fit into that. And open it up for all of U of R.

The Streetwatch meeting will be every fourth wednesday at the Presbyterian Home on Thurston Road.

Thanks Shawn! Glad to be back!

Thank you Shawn! What a wonderful website you have! Tons of time and energy must have been and are expended in your setting it up and continuing its operation. It'll take me a while to familiarize myself as to how to navigate, etc., but I can see right off that there is a tremendous amount of good material.
Thanks so much, again. Bill Nichthauser

Thanks, Shawn.

Hi, Shawn. Remember I told you I joined a while back and was getting the activity emails? I believe I stopped the emails, but then somehow I went away completely! Oh well, I'm back. Great meeting you guys yesterday. Dave

most excellent! thx for putting up on the calendar too. (but can you change the year to 09? we are trying to be diligent about getting the word out, but 3 years is a lot of notice for an event! ;-)
