I Got a letter that says it was determined by need. Does anyone know how they know that? When you sign-up all you do is fill out a simple form with basic info how can they tell from that. This is a suppose to be a preschool for all program well I live in this neighborhood & pay my taxes and why can't my child go to the public preschool.Does anyone have any answers out there besides send my child to a private school.<br /><br />April 29, 2009 2:31 PM<br /><br />If your kid goes to the catholic school you have no chance of getting in.

I visit the park regularly to walk and see the mess left behind and wonder how homeowners in the area put up with it. The person who blogged that you "moved there" so live with it is probably one of the culprits. When he or she goes home garbage isn't blowing on his property and if it were, would be the first to complain. Parkside homeowner, did you camp out by the park before you moved there to see what goes on day and night or did you buy thinking it would be a nice place to live and raise the family like most of us. I'm sure you didn't realize the hundreds everyday around your home being inconsiderate, I personally feel sorry for you, those are pretty nice houses there and very well maintained. Hope the day comes when people will be a little more considerate about their neighbors and neighborhood.

Greenwood Park. If the people around Western Ave. think it is horrible for one day, try it over here every day for months. Drunken ballplayers who have no respect for the homeowners in this area, not all, but most. The park district does not supply port-a-pottys because they are tipped over, so our driveways or the nearest tree serves that purpose for male and female alike. When they arrive they fly down the street to get a parking spot and won't hesitate to block your driveway. Dust, trash and foul language is the norm. Standard gear for the player is spikes, bat, ball, cooler. Granted, the park should put more garbage cans out, but kids or dogs tip them over and wind blows trash all over. Sports are great and thats what the park is for and should not be stopped, but when you come to the park, have some respect for the people that live here and the people, other than yourself, that use the park too. So all those who dread March 17th come spend the summer around Mt.Greenwood Park..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-31225896678907678162009-05-02T07:47:00.000-05:002009-05-02T07:47:00.000-05:00Does anyone know of any plans for a dog park in Be...Does anyone know of any plans for a dog park in Beverly / Mt greenwood/Evergreen Park area?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254586714438447188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637815564696693043.post-6405592080050681222009-05-01T20:51:00.000-05:002009-05-01T20:51:00.000-05:00Anonymous said...

It's not like he has the years in to be grandfathered in. I believe the man is only in his mid 30's. But from what I've heard about him. He is good friends with the old principal David Gilligan.
