Hello Lincoln Talk! My partner and I recently moved to Weston Rd, and we walk our dogs along the road on our way to safer trails. While the posted speed limit is 25 mph, cars regularly exceed 35-40, especially during the rush hour surge. Some of you may have seen me wildly gesturing to cars to slo

If anyone is interested in a working TV (it's older but in good condition) you are welcome to come and get it. I believe that it's plasma with a nice picture. It is not a Smart TV, so it requires a cable box. It's heavy so you'll need two people to carry it. I can send a photo upon request. -- T
