Street still closed but Lorraine Kleppel navigated the terrain and introduced me to her brother Bruce from Saskatoon, Canada. He also owns a gift shop . . . Janet Day and Tom Leonard will show their Edwards Street home during the Historic Harrisburg candlelight house tour . . . wonderful new potpourri is giving the store a pleasant aroma . . . neat new spoon rests, trivets, cutting boards, utensil crocks and tabletop clocks . . . We all know that parking is at a premium in our neighborhood. We know and accept the fact that more parking permits are sold in our area than there are spaces to accommodate every vehicle. (CAN is currently seeking more spaces.) Generally, we are good neighbors and try to park precisely so that no car hogs two spots. Over time, we have learned that on a portion of Green Street east we can squeeze four cars into the space between parking signs. We have been doing that for years. So why, I wonder, do we recently have tickets being written for "too close to the crosswalk?" Not "in the crosswalk" but "too close to crosswalk." And how close is too close? Is it a judgement call on the part of the officer? Well, the pictured auto was ticketed as "too close" and it is offered here as a warning to other CAN neighbors . . . Arts at 510 at 510 North Third Street is holding a "meet and greet" for mayoral candidate Nevin Mindlin tomorrow evening from 5:10-7:10 p.m . . .
