Okay, I'm thinking about selling my Steinway Baby Grand piano. My grandma purchased this one new, just after WWII. It's been thoroughly cleaned and tuned and ready for a loving home. It sounds great and has real ivory keys! It could be just the r...

In case you didn't see this latest "miraculous sighting" of Jesus Christ, here is the photo for close-up examination. Apparently Mary Jo Coady, in Methuen, MA sees Jesus Christ in the pattern on the bottom of the iron, which she first noticed a...

Where are the holiday bargains in Montclair Village? Share 'em here. I just received an email from Mountain Yoga. If you stop there on Thursday night, then you can get 10% off purchases if you mention receiving their email. They have some cute th...

Let's see how a social application will allow us to chat.

At the Today in Montclair, 94611 blog, the functionality is limited to typical blogging and comments. Everything sort of ages out and it's sort of a one-way street of communications. So we signed up a "ning" account here which enables anyone to join and post messages to everyone. It's pretty simple and you can see what everyone is thinking.

It doesn't mean the blog will change, but this kind of social approach might come in handy if anyone needs to chat about...what to do, where to go, stuff for sale, good folks to hire, you name it. There doesn't seem to be a place to communicate locally about these matters. Heck, Montclarions even go over to the Berkeley parent network and its time to reclaim our identity.

Welcome, and we'll see how this grows and what YOU want to do.

Oakland Police Still Over Budget

Yes, it's true that the Oakland Police Department is still over budget. They expect to exceed their current budget by $3 million this fiscal year...unless some action is taken quickly.

Tonight, I switched over to Channel 10, and started watching the Oakland City Council's Public Safety Committee meeting. I'm not suggesting you try watching these kinds of meetings, but it was in the background while I could do some other things.

Then an Oakland Police Department analyst got up and starting shar… Continue

Thank you for your good work in publicizing the Fernwood House Tour.
I think you got the facts (as I understand them) all correct.
PS: I just signed up for ""Montclair 94611", thanks to you..
