The Social Web and SNA
We’ve setup a few new “Social Web” tools for SNA members.
Eventful.com: Members of the SNA group on eventful can add Summit Neighborhood-related events to this online-calendar. These event listings will be viewable on Eventful (as well as several other popular websites should you opt to do so when adding the event.) These SNA-related events will also auto-magically appear here on the SNA website. We’d love to have you help us inform neighbors about upcoming events in the neighborhood, so if you would like to join this group, pls email us so we can send you an invite.
Flickr.com: Summit is a very photogenic neighborhood and if you use Flickr for your online photo storage, you can easily share your photos with other neighbors by submitting them to the Summit Neighborhood Flickr pool. These pictures will also auto-magically appear here on the SNA website. We think it would be great to hook up with other photographers and share pictures of our neighborhood, so if you would like to join this group, pls email us so we can add you the group.
43Places: Summit is on the map at 43Places. If you’re interested in writing reviews about the neighborhood, its businesses, attractions and restaurants, 43Places is the place to do it. Just visit the Summit Neighborhood page on 43Places and click the “Add a place within Summit Neighborhood.”
Suggestion/comments about these and other Social Web applications would be very much appreciated so don’t hesitate to drop a comment below!

Who is dumping their oil in Summit?
A neighbor has brought to the Board’s attention what may be a local car service station dumping their used oil on our streets. I checked it out before the snow fell. You can clearly see the stains.
The neighbor says, and it seems as though, someone in a truck drives up and down the streets with a open bucket just letting the oil drip and pour out. Pouring on east-to-west streets that drain well, Dexterdale and Edgehill, and not pouring on Summit and Camp, which don’t run downhill. (more…)
