East Alton will host its annual Village Spring Cleanup beginning Monday. During the normal garbage pick-up day next week, residents may put out bulk items and other junk not suitable for normal garbage pick-up.
Mayor Joe Silkwood tells The Big Z you should have those items placed in the area your normal trash is located by 6am on your designated day.

Some items are not allowed, like electronics, tires, shingles, car parts, concrete, and hazardous materials such as oil, paint, asbestos. If you would prefer to haul your bulk items to the village drop-off center, you can do so at no charge to village residents. You must be able to show proof of residency. The Village Drop-Off Center is located at 4th & Playground Court, behind the Municipal Garage, and will be open Monday-Friday from 7am-2:30pm and Saturday from 8am-11:50am.

HOBOKEN, NJ Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla said Tuesday that the city and Ironstate Development have agreed on a newly proposed settlement agreement that prevents two 11-story high-rise buildings from being built on Hoboken s waterfront and gives the city 1.4 acres of land for open space. In exchange, Ironstate would get to build an 11-story residential building at the site of the Municipal Garage near the city s southern border.
The proposed agreement will be presented to the City Council for consideration and a possible vote on Wednesday, Feb. 3. (Residents can get details of the agreement and speak at the virtual meeting using the links later in the story.)

Gather round, youngsters, and hear tell about a vintage Cincinnati tradition long consigned to the dustbin of history. I refer to the old Safety Lane, gone 40 years this year.
Every Cincinnati motorist of a certain age remembers entering the gantlet of automotive inspection with not a bit of nostalgia.

Time was when every automobile cruising Cincinnati thoroughfares was required to show a current sticker proving that it had passed an inspection affirming it was in a condition to be operated safely. A burned-out headlight, a silent horn, faulty brakes, and even shaky alignment earned a temporary tag, giving the driver a week to repair the problem.
