Nov 2014DRCC Update
By Tommy Britt - Last month I wrote about the DRCC’s new approval process that requires an on-site visit with the owner and contractor.

We accepted the lion’s share of blame because, quite frankly, our approval process had...

Shared from: Jennifer Estopinal - Overnight there was another cat mutilation in Timbergrove Manor (near 11th/TC Jester), discovered by pet owners in their front yard this morning.

Here is their story. The two women, who don’t wish to be identified, have lived in Timbergrove for 15 years. They keep their yard neat and are friendly with everyone...
