No garbage pickup, no Village Hall, no Mail

  • As Shel Silverstein would say, Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out. And in Shorewood, you don't have to either today. Nor do you have to drag the tree out or take anything to the DPW. Just skip Village Hall entirely on Monday
  • Also, don't keep checking your mailbox. It won't get another Kohl's coupon today. BUT if you've finally coerced the kids to crank out Aunt Lydia's thank you note and are sending her a box of handpainted rocks, skip the closed Shorewood P.O. and go to the North Shore Branch, 5651 N. Lydell Ave. -- which closes at 2:30 p.m. 
  • PARKING restrictions are still on holiday terms today until this evening, but you need to call the non-emergency number to allow it. Got overnight friends coming to the RoseBowl party? Call for overnight permission on parking tonight if they're staying over (I'll never tell). Non-emergency 414.847.2610

The LIBRARY is open! Start the new year right - come clean, return stuff, pay Your fines – get a new book at the library! Opens at 9:30, open 'til 8pm.
