Reported Break-In in Quail Run Neighborhood

crime_scene

At 3pm today, there was a break in attempt at 643 Schuyler Ave (a road that runs parallel to Bellingrath Ave). This is the road that backs up to and runs parallel to Bellingrath. It is in the Quail Run neighborhood. Officers including K-9 unit(s) were in the area searching for 2 suspects. They are just leaving now. Based on information I have, I doubt this will be a reoccurring concern.

SCAM: Free Water Testing

water

Just FYI, free Water Quality Tests should be viewed with the same suspicion we view all door-to-door salesmen. I threw away the Water Testing kit that was attached to my mailbox last week.

I do use a water filter, because the Rock Hill water doesn’t exactly taste great, but my undersink filter from Whirlpool cost around $120 not thousands. And I’m extremely happy with the results. I haven’t had to change out the canisters even after 1 year.

If you are concerned about the water quality here, whole home filtration systems can be had for under $500. That’s just from a few minutes looking at Home Depot and Lowe’s. Do your homework and don’t let a high-pressure salesman bully you into spending a fortune.

From Jennifer Wilson:

Is it just me or does anyone else want to scream every time you drive by this mess? I just sent once again another email about our fabulous ?landscape and included this picture. Am I the only one complaining to them about our landscape?
