“Dear PoPville,
HRA is a mess right now. Just the latest example is below. They sent out the email below asking volunteers for help cleaning out dog kennels–something that they typically pay staff to do.

Thanks to Jaime for sending: “our hawk sighting in the River Terrace neighborhood. Saw it having a meal on top of our garage.
Was pretty big and even flew off with the food after a car was driving down the alley.”
If you spot a hawk, any interesting wildlife or celebrity skateboarder Tony Hawk, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted them to [email protected]. Thanks! Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.
