Lost Keys On Albemarle Street
From a resident:
I lost my keys and have been searching for the last two days since then. I have no clue where they might be. I figured I’d post on here in case they fell onto the street. It has my car and house key, but what I’m mainly upset about is that it had my cats ashes on it. The lanyard looks like this, and I live on albemarle by the dead end. It should have three black keys, this silver ashes thingy, a couple small keys, and a kroger card. If anyone sees them please please please message me. I’ve already searched my entire house, car, all my pockets and bags, etc so I really am just posting as a last hope
New Stop Signs
Gunfire In Neighborhood Last Night
Neighbors were awoken about 2:15 am Friday night/Saturday morning by at least 16 shots, some of them in rapid succession. Although accounts are not quite clear, it sounds like they may have stemmed from an argument/altercation around Laurel and Albemarle. Witnesses saw guns fire from speeding cars that went down Laurel and up Pine.
This morning, some neighbors found fresh bullet holes in their walls and plan to inspect their roofs. Others are gathering security camera footage and figuring out car makes/models to give to police.
Raccoon Activity

There have been a lot more sightings of raccoons in the neighborhood lately. Some of it is probably due to the warm winter so far. Some if it may be due to other disturbances in the local wildlife population.
If you do see a raccoon on the street or sidewalk, leave it alone and consider calling an animal rescue group. If a raccoon approaches too closely, make yourself appear larger: stand up, shout, and wave your arms. If he continues to approach, throw or spray water, or even stones if needed. A raccoon that is very aggressive–or too tame, or seems to be disoriented or staggers may be sick or injured.
New Stop Signs In Consideration
Oregon Hill is once again looking at possibly changing traffic patters as a new proposal is being weighed at City Council’s Land Use, Housing, and Transportation Committee.
Ordinance 2019-147 reads:
To erect all-way stop signs at the intersections of Spring Street and South Pine Street, Spring Street and South Laurel Street, Albemarle Street and South Laurel Street, and Albemarle Street and South Cherry Street, with a painted stop line at each intersection.
This follows neighbors’ discussion with City Councilperson Parker Agelasto’s office in regard to continued concerns about traffic safety. To quickly recap, neighbors originally requested all-way stop signs at Spring and Laurel and Spring and Pine, but agreed to try changing more intersections’ stop sign direction, now that concerns have continued, all-stops are being reconsidered.
Parking Restrictions For Funeral Tomorrow
Neighbors on the 400 block of S. Pine between Albemarle & Spring Street AND the 700 block of Albemarle between S. Pine & S. Laurel Street should see no parking signs for both sides of the streets listed above for tomorrow Tuesday, June 4 from 9am-3pm for funeral services at Pine Street Baptist Church.
