My dog got hit by a car.....Monday 05 2007

Okay so I have my dog on the leash and I am waiting for my garage door to close then we start walking and next thing I know my dog get hit in the head/face by a car driving up the alley the wrong way. I yelled at the car and the passenger in the car noticed us and the car kept going. It happened in R street alley NE in the part that is only one way from Lincoln rd NE to 1st street NE.
He seems to be okay, this is the 1st time one of us has gotten hit but there has been more then 8 other times where one of us almost got before by people going up the alley the wrong way. I do not know who contact about this. This is getting really old really fast, a few times I have yelled at the people and they given me shit about me yelling at them for going the wrong way.
What if I was a kid playing in alley and this happened and it could happened since Emery ES is 2 house's down from mine.
UPDATE:::::::
I called 311 but nothing to really do since I dont have a plate number...
I dont know what else to do if anyone else does let me know. Thanks.

Contruction Trucks Using R st. Alley as passway

So I am all for making it easier on the construction trucks/dump trucks to get to whatever they are doing at McKinley Technical High School football field to have it done faster. As this has been going on week after week for the entire summer. Once school starts back up in 2 weeks there is going to be a problem since almost 1/2 of the kids that go to Emery Elementary, walk without parents to and from school The dump trucks don't seem to stop when they reach intersection of 1st N.E. and R alley N.E. Not to mention that most of the students of McKinley Technical High School that drive use that alley to get to and from school too while talking on their cell phones. I'm just afraid that most of them will not be paying attention and there will be an accident, as there almost was this past spring every time two cars come to 1st street NE and R street alley NE. So I will be making calls to the mayors office everyday once school starts back up, about why the trucks can not use the actually entrance to McKinley Technical High School on T street N.E. and about how unsafe the drivers of the trucks are.

Opening an Italian pizza/sub/pasta restaurant

So my partner and I are thinking about opening an Italian pizza/sub/pasta restaurant on North Capital Street. We do not know much about doing this but we do know that we do want to do it. I've been checking out www.sba.gov and its helpful but would like to actually talk with some people who know the area and what the community would want if not this type of restaurant.
