Major theft at Berkeley Garden

It is unfortunately that I have to pass on news that there has been yet another incident of theft at Berkley Community Gardens.

Sometime between 5pm October 29 and 7am October 30, the side door of the shed was broken into, and their snow blower was stolen. While there has been scattered vandalism in the garden over the summer, this seems to have been a well orchestrated event. They pried the handle and lock mechanism right off of the door and stole just the snow blower. Not being a smash-and-grab item, they may have had a vehicle waiting to haul the snow blower away.

A flier from the garden with picture and contact information can be found here (view / download). If anyone from the neighborhood, or any of their Dwight neighbors noticed anything this past Friday night, please contact the police or the garden via the contacts listed on their flier. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No November ESNA Meeting

Welcome to November everyone.

We will not be having a November Eight Streets meeting. There have been no business agenda items brought forth; and many of our ‘regulars’ will be helping out on election day (either helping the city or supporting their candidates). Given these conditions, we’ve decided to cancel the November meeting. We encourage you to use this free time to head out and Vote on Tuesday – polls will be open until 8pm!


Please remember to keep an eye on our blog to keep up on neighborhood news and notes. The next scheduled ESNA meeting is Tuesday, December 7th.
