Article related to new BBQ

I thought you might want to pass this on to the people who were complaining about that restaurant and all the smoke. Was that ever resolved or is it still a problem? I copied and pasted the article itself because the link may be subscription only (but try it, easier to pass on)-from San Francisco Chronicle. Same thing happened there-the smoke is “within the air quality rules”. To me that’s absurd, especially with the particles in the smoke.  -Wendy Willingham http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Meraki-Market-Tenderloin-Pink-Lungs-Matter-12335789.php SF Tenderloin residents, irked by smoke from upscale market, launch ‘Pink Lungs Matter’ movement Meraki Market opened in October […]

New clean streets resources for Kerns Neighborhood Association

Hi, Hope your week is off to a great start! I’m reaching out to you as someone responsible for disseminating information to your community about keeping your neighborhood clean and beautiful.

You can a look at the resource here: https://www.tuck.com/mattress-disposal/ The Mattress Recycling Council estimates that up to 20 million mattresses are disposed of every year in America. When it’s time to get rid of an old mattress, many people don’t even realize that […]

Alert: Drug Turn-in Location

Hi, Inner Easties! If you missed the recent drug turn-in event at the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (4735 East Burnside, formerly PPB’s SE Precinct), keep this link on hand: https://apps.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/pubdispsearch. These locations are available year round to take unwanted prescription medicine. Just enter your zip code to find a place nearby. When was the last time you went through your medicine cabinet, kitchen cabinets, first aid or travel kits? Time flies, especially when it comes to expired medications! I would expect that most people know that medication should not be flushed down the toilet because it will enter our waterways. […]
