Hillcrest Clean
T.E.A.M. Another successful neighborhood streetsweeping was held this morning. Bring a broom! Several late-comers without tools were unable to participate. We’ll do our best to make sure this doesn’t
happen again at our next volunteer effort on Sunday, Feb 5.
Big thanks to City Deli’s Mike Wright and Alan Bilmes and OutMall’s
P.A. Sansone for generous gift certificates. Wanna join the Clean
T.E.A.M.?

Happy 40th b-day, Emperor Norton II
Tony Phillips (the bad little devil with horns courtesy of his gal pal Marie) doesn’t look a day over 39, as he smiles with his daughter and Neal Wasserman (left), the proprietor of the Wit's End. Tony’s friends crowded the popular watering hole at Thursday night’s celebration for the prolific Hillcrestian who produces the Fifth Avenue Gazette. (Is that because we really love him or that they have a zillion beer choices and great food?) Btw...the Wit’s End also serves up free wi-fi in their homey location just west of Fifth Avenue on Robinson.

Have you played bingo at The Center?
It’s fun (although a bit boring unless you buy all the extra cards...which we didn’t do.) Ten bucks will buy you six cards for a couple hours of number calling.
We invested $40 and didn’t win nuttin!
