WHINELINE WHINELINE LAST WEEK KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT, KENNETH ECHOLS WHOSE RUNNING FOR DISTRICT 7 COMMISSION SEAT WAS TALKED INTO THE RACE SO BY THE MAYOR AND BILLY MORRIS.

Can someone please explain to me why there are no coffee shops downtown open at a time when we actually need coffee past 5 pm? This leaves those of us with regular working hours to resort to a diner or the bar-coffeehouse for a place to study/read. Want some smoke with that cup-a-joe!

I own a home in Harrisburg and have great neighbors. Our entire block has responsible, hard working, and accountable persons living on it. We talk regularly and work together to keep the muck out. This may be difficult where Lori Davis lives, but it would appear that her own personality is to blame. Rather than begin a quixotic journey for people to blame, those on my block cooperate with one another and the Sheriff’s Dept., when necessary. It is neighborhood watching, not neighborhood soapboxing.

L Davis is a nut. Austin “Scoop” Rhodes is a local legend. I honbestly do not know what the CSRA

Head to lifehacker.com, where there’s not only a whole section of the site devoted to iPhones, but where you’ll also find ways to make your email program work more efficiently and daily deals on apps. Life Hacker is not all about technology, however. McGyver Tips show you useful tricks, like how to loosen almost any knot, IKEA Hacks lets you in on deals and shows you how to repurpose items from the store (a lamp into a webcam mount, for instance), and the storage section shows you how to do things like use shower hooks in the closet as bag and tie hangers. Life Hacker’s motto is “tips and downloads for getting things done,” and it just may help you accomplish that goal… if you don’t get lost browsing through all the fascinating information.

WERECOMMEND what idiot is going to pay $6000 a ticket during “golf week” to enter it. What I really want to know is who in the hell is constantly driving the crane backwards in circles? When can I expect peace and quiet? Doesn’t hospitality mean respectful and friendly treatment? Could you not afford sound barriers to span

the gate behind the facility for those living next to it? Lori Davis? Seriously, your reporter didn’t ask for any evidence supporting her nutty conspiracy theory? A “Cabal” is telling the police not to crack down on crime in Harrisburgh so the property values will be lowered, so they can come
