You might want to connect with “Amazon Logistics”. They seemed to know exactly the layout of Canal Place I, II and III. I had a long winded text with four different individuals and finally was connected with Amazon Logistics who seemed to know the layout of the area and wanted to know exactly where my unit number was. I want my deliveries made to my door.
For any interested residents, the (almost) monthly board meeting will be in the lobby office this Wednesday, the 22nd, at 7:00. Please feel free to attend!
I’m not familiar with Publisher software so I can’t help Georgi out with this. Can anyone else give her a call and walk her through it?
I need help from someone who understands Publisher software. I’m trying to do a two-sided sheet of paper with six postcards and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but for some reason I can’t get the six on one page. If there’s anybody out there who could help me, it would be really, really appreciated!
A resident got rear-ended recently and is looking for recommendations for a good body shop that does top notch work and knows Subarus. If anyone has any suggestions, please post in the comments or shoot me an email and I’ll forward it. Thanks!
For anyone looking to dispose of their real Christmas tree, the city has drop off locations available from now through January 11th. Or if you’d like to have your tree picked up, you can make arrangements here. Be sure to remove all ornaments, lights, and tinsel prior to disposal or pickup.
Please be sure to wrap your tree in an old sheet or a plastic tarp when removing it from the building to avoid trailing needles through the halls. And trees do not belong in the front elevator—please use the freight elevator or the stairs. Thank you for your consideration.
FYI, the parking ban is slated to continue through the night and ends at 6 tomorrow morning. If you’ve taken advantage of the free parking in certain city garages, you have until 8am to move your car before they start charging.
A snow emergency has been declared in Lowell with a parking ban starting at midnight. If your car is in the Canal Place surface lot please move it to a city garage or other off-street parking ASAP or risk being towed.
This reminder is probably a tad late, but please wrap your live tree when carrying it through the common areas so that it doesn’t leave needles everywhere. Our household keeps an old sheet on hand for just that purpose. This is even more important when taking a dry tree out after the holidays. And trees do not belong in the front elevator; please use the freight elevator.
For anyone who loves the idea of carrying home a tree rather than driving somewhere to get one, Mill no. 5 on Jackson Street will be selling trees today until 5:00 pm (or until they run out, whichever comes first). We just carried ours home from there—a tad windy, but fun in a nostalgic sort of way.
After Christmas, Lowell has drop-off sites for discarding trees. Plus there’s usually a Boy Scout troop that will pick them up for a fee as a fundraiser. I’ll try to post that information as it becomes available.
The city is holding a meeting tonight, Tuesday, 6:30 at LTC (246 Market Street) to present design ideas for a light barrier scrim on the new garage behind Canal 3. This project has gone through a series of budgetary adjustments, becoming starker and less green with each step. If you care about “what goes up in your backyard” please attend!
I can’t seem to find anything about this online but it’s definitely worth checking out for anyone interested.
There’s also a City Counsel meeting at City Hall this evening with a number of items on the agenda.
Lowell has declared a snow emergency as of 6:00 PM with an on-street parking ban going into effect at midnight. If your car is parked in the surface lot please be sure to move it to a garage so that the lot can be plowed. I don’t think anyone will be towed prior to the midnight deadline but there’s always some confusion about the time in between the start of the “emergency” and the start of the ban so sooner is better than later.
The Leo Roy Garage next door will charge for parking, but there is free parking for downtown residents at the Lower Locks garage on Warren Street, the Ayote garage by the Tsongas Arena, and the Downes garage on John Street. Once the snow emergency is lifted, cars must be removed from those garages within two hours or they’ll be charged.
