special meeting Feb 07 about McGee St. landscaping

Posted on Feb 06, 2013 by Ian Beatty

We’re holding a special meeting of the College Hill Neighborhood Association at 5:15 PM on Thursday, Feb 7, at 1001 McGee St. (the home of Janet Frommann). On the table: Whether the CHNA should agree to a collaborative project with Greensboro College to landscape the northern side of McGee Street.

The short notice is because the landscape designer has asked to have the plan reviewed quickly, so that he can begin preparing the beds for March planting.

If you’ve got an opinion about this, or simply want to find out more, please come review the designs and share your thoughts.

If you have any questions, contact our acting Board Chair, Lyddan Pawlowski (lyddan@bellsouth.net).

Students, Residents Can Text Crime Tips

Posted on Jan 30, 2013 by Judy Horn

Greensboro/Guilford County Crime Stoppers have announced that students and anyone with a phone with texting capabilities can send crime tips to 274637 (CRIMES). To indicate that the information is about campus crime in the Greensboro area, tipsters must enter the keyword FIVE O (all alphabetical – no numerical) at the beginning of the text, and then type in the crime tip. Tips sent via text are anonymous.

Crime Stoppers coordinators will provide the tipster with a confidential code number and instructions on how to follow up on the report. Coordinators can converse via text with the tipster. When the tipster no longer wants to communicate, he or she can send the word “stop” to end the session.

Students and residents can also send in tips from the Crime Stoppers website or the TipSoft website or by calling 336-373-1000.

Text-a-tip is made possible by a grant from the Governors Crime Commission. No tax-payer dollars are used for the program. To learn more, contact Susan Danielsen at the Greensboro Police Department at 336-574-4002.
