Family of Greggette Guy offers $10,000 reward [corrected]

April 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment

GreggetteIt has been six weeks since the murder of 51 year old Greggette Guy who was last known to be walking along Beach Drive on a stormy evening.  Last night, Fox News 13 aired an interview Greggette's husband, Dwight, about her tragic death. The interview ends with a reminder that her murderer has not yet been caught.  The family is offering $10,000 for a tip that will lead to the arrest and conviction of her murderer.  Click here to watch the interview.

We, along with other neighbors, have been in contact with various city officials about the safety of our neighborhood. We have been told there will be a community safety walk in the next few weeks (a few weeks ago).

Please stay vigilant and safe.  Don't be afraid to call 9-1-1 when you need to.

UPDATE April 30, 2012: We received bad information from the parks department regarding the bench that is being installed today.  This bench is not being dedicated to Greggette.  We sincerely apologize for this miscommunication.

Did Your Dock take a Walk?

April 19, 2012 by 1 Comment

If you have a small floating dock, you may want to double check to make sure it's anchored where it's supposed to be.  

This dock appears to be heading north (currently it is just south of Emma Schmitz Memorial View Point).
