Hotel Monte Sano
plate:
My grandmother, of Arab,
AL, and originally
Huntsville died recently
and one of the items she
left me was a Monte Sano
Hotel dinner platter
with the Hotel's logo
printed in red on the
rim. As a kid growing up
in Huntsville we used to
go to the park and
wander around the ruins
of the Monte Sano. I
wanted to know if there
was anyone that I coul
contact regarding this
platter. I do not want
to get rid of it as my
grandparents had it for
decades andd its
sentimental value is far
more than its monetary,
just curious is all.
See plate.

Scam
Alert:
This
eve,
Nov
20,
about
6pm
two
men
came
to
my
door.
One
said
they
were
from
Oakwood
College
and
selling
books
to
"raise
money
for
a
scholarship."
People
during
holidays
may
be
more
vulnerable
to
scams.
Take
care.
Hope
Everyone
is
Aware
of
the
Regions
Bank
scam
as
well:
Mary
Lou
writes
-
I
just
talked
to
my
bank:
Regions.
There
is
a
scam
going
around
on
the
phone.
I
got
a
message
on
my
answering
machine
about
my
transfer
service
from
Regions
being
out
of
date.
I
had
gotten
another
email
about
it
and
then
they
left
this
web
site
on
my
work
phone:
www.regionscare.com
The
bank
said
that
it
is
a
scam.
They
have
been
getting
calls
from
all
over
about
this
problem.
Don't
open
that
email
or
call
them
back.
The
banker
says
that
if
you
do
give
them
sensitive
information
Regions
would
help
you
straighten
it
out,
but
it
takes
600
working
hours
to
do
so.

information
is

NEIGHBORS
BEWARE
Another
story
from
2
years
back:
A
young
man
tried
to
sell
me
magazines
about
2
years
ago.
His
name
was
Brooks,
but
I
don't
remember
his
last
name.
He
said
his
mom
was
a
veterinarian.
There
was
a
magazine
sales
"contest"
--
the
girls
were
beating
the
boys
so
far.
The
prize
was
a
trip
to
Cancun.
He
claimed
he
was
selling
for
"Huntsville."
I
asked
if
it
was
HHS,
and
he
was
indirect
and
mumbled
something
without
answering
the
question.
The
company
he
was
representing
is
Universal
Subscription
Agency
(USA),
Las
Vegas,
NV.
Google
it;
you'll
see
nothing
but
complaints
and
repeats
of
the
same
script
all
over
the
country.
Another
pair
of
young
men
(don'
t
know
if
Brooks
was
one
of
them.
I
don't
know
that
I
would
recognize
him)
showed
up
about
a
year
ago
with
the
same
song
&
dance;
I
stated
that
it
was
a
scam,
they
shrugged
and
said
"Okay."
and
walked
away.

And
Another:
Hi,
Just
came
across
your
site.
My
wife
and
I
just
moved
to
Huntsville
at
the
beginning
of
October.
We
live
at
the
bottom
of
the
mountain
on
Holling
Drive
off
of
Hwy.
72.
One
thing
caught
my
eye
on
your
site.
The
door
to
door
solicitation
business.
Two
young
men
came
to
my
door
yesterday
selling
magazines.
The
guy
smelled
like
he
had
a
bit
of
alcohol
on
his
breath
(it
was
11am).
He
said
he
and
his
friend
attended
UAH
and
had
to
sell
magazines.
He
said
he
lived
on
Albany
street,
which
is
adjacent
to
mine.
He
said
that
he
was
selling
magazines
for
his
school
and
that
some
magazines
would
be
sent
overseas
to
Iraq
and
some
children's
magazines
to
children's
hospitals,
etc.
I
told
him
if
he
gave
me
his
address,
I
could
stop
by
later
to
discuss
it.
He
refused
and
said
he
could
come
back
by.
So
I
asked
him
for
a
phone
number
I
could
call
him
at.
He
gave
me
a
number
for
Arizona.
After
that,
he
and
his
friend
went
to
the
neighbors
house
and
continued
down
the
way.
I
did
not
call
the
police
as
I
didn't
see
anything
overtly
illegal,
but
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
so
that
you
might
add
this
info
to
your
"door-to-door"
warning
on
the
front
page.
Many
thanks.

DOOR TO DOOR ALERT Thursday, at 3:50 p.m., 10/24/07, a nice-looking young man, about 17 or 18, came to my door soliciting money for a trip to England. He said his father gave him half of the money, but he needs to earn the rest, yet, he was seeking "donations" for any work I might have. He said his name was Brooks Clinton and that he lives on Highland Avenue. I told him I would need to send him some money after this weekend, and that he should write down his address for me. His demeanor completely changed and said he needed to collect the money now, and that his mother did not like to give out their address. I told him that I needed to have it if he wanted me to donate money. He became upset and asked if I was trying to harass him. He became belligerent. I ordered him off my property. He took out his cell phone and wandered down to the corner of Panorama and Hutchens, sat down on the wet grass and smoked a cigarette while continuing to talk on the phone. I called the police and reported him. After a couple of minutes, he got up and wandered up Panorama away from my house. I looked up "Clinton" on Highland and found no one by that name in our mountain directory on Highland. He was wearing a dark-blue windbreaker with hood and ragged, light-blue blue jeans. John AllenNote: Another neighbor reported this young man came to sell her magazines on the same day and thought it was a scam. 10/24

We had a small amount of cash taken form our car on 10/10/07 as well. We are at 3003 Crescent.From: David McMillion

Our neighbor Heather English who lives on Crescent also had some things taken from her car. Has anyone alerted the police or community watch about this? Sounds like we need some nightly patrols up here for awhile.

Break
Ins
on
Monte

Area)
From:

My
name
is
Mark
Blevins
and
my
wife
and
I
just
moved
up
on
the
mountain-
5224
Panorama.
Last
night
my
car
was
broken
into
and
my
car
radio
was
stolen.
Whoever
did
break
into
my
car
was
not
the
most
cunning
of
car
thieves,
as
the
faceplate
to
my
radio
was
left
in
my
car.
If
they
were
after
a
$450
paperweight,
I
hope
it
finds
them
in
good
stead.
Nonetheless,
be
aware
that
there
was
a
break
in
and
secure
your
belongings.
Especially
until
fall
break
is
over.
Thank
You,-mark

If
