I’ve got about fifty books I’m trying to offload. Some are kind of expensive and some are fairly common so I’d be happy to find a place with both sell back and donation. (more…)

A crop of new signs popped up on our block today, then we noticed a large pile by the trash on a side street. Are campaign representatives allowed to move other campaign’s signs?”
On Thursday we shared from Attorney General Racine’s office:
“Is it legal to destroy election signs in the lead up to the election?

Best bars/restaurants to watch sports but very outdoors? Hard to tell what’s what with all the closures, changes in indoor/outdoor seating. Like where is the good outdoor seating with good TV set ups for sports?”

“Dear PoPville,
New construction is about to start right next to our apartment, for a 9 story condo building.

Is it just awful the whole time? Or is it particularly bad for a few months in the beginning (demolition, foundation work, etc.)?”

Here are examples: (more…)
