City crew came to work on a broken water main at the intersection of S. Laurel and Holly Streets.

End of An Era – Mojo’s Announces Closing Date
Mojo’s staff made this announcement on their Facebook page:
Big announcement time (prepare your tears): after October 11th 2020 we will be no-Mo’-jo’s. Aka: we’re closing on October 11th (that will be the last day we will have service) for an undetermined amount of time. It’s been a wild ride these last twenty (or so?) years, but it’s time to say our goodbyes to 733 west cary street. Come in and see us for the next few weeks that we’ll be open (and seriously, you’re going to be saying goodbye to these cheesesteaks and wings so it’s now or never!) We’ll miss and love you all forever!! #mojos4ever

Known for their cheesesteak sandwiches, Mojo’s will certainly be missed as an independent neighborhood business.

The 821 Cafe on W. Cary Street is closed on Mondays.
Tech Exchange is closed on Mondays also. If the country ever does go to a smaller work week like some have suggested- will Mondays become a non-working day?
Hives seem to be doing ok.
Beautiful Butterfly
Thanks to the gardeners who plant butterfly-friendly flowers in Oregon Hill! This beauty was on the 600 block of S. Laurel.
City Quickly Replaces Missing Stop Sign
Dear Mr. Sawyer,
I want to send a hearty “Thank You” for the fast work of Maintenance Tech III Andre Cannady for so promptly replacing the missing STOP sign in Oregon Hill! He immediately installed a temporary stop sign and after assessing the situation promptly returned and installed a new pole and sign. This was done within a half hour of receiving the report of the missing sign.
Mr. Cannady’s prompt work may have prevented an accident at this busy corner. Thank you so much for taking care of this issue so speedily!
Gratefully,
Charles Pool

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.
Have You Seen This Bike?
One of our 300 block Laurel Street neighbors had this bicycle stolen recently and she misses it greatly.
Laurel Street Trees Removed
Laurel Street neighbor Marc Leslie supplied some action pics as a large tree was removed from the west side of the 400 back of S.Laurel this morning.
