Before Vituquest launched recruitment for 6.5, I found the Township Heights site. I sent a feeler email and corresponded a bit with Jay. This probably doesn't hold any useful info, but I thought I'd better post it in case. The mention of the i-cafe may be useful later on.

Quote:
Mountain Girl;

Thank you for the email in regards to our wondrous community.

As the holidays are coming to an end, I thought I would try to take
care of some of the email that has piled up over the last week or so.

Although I am out of the Mayors office, I am using a local ?I-Café ?
to access my account and catch up. Actually, it is more like throwing
out the trash; ?Holiday Spam? is at a premium this year.

As for a ?Mystery?, well that is all in one?s perception. I can say
that Township Heights does deliberately incorporate informational
prudence. If you choose to proceed and become a member, then you too
will become tactful in your dissemination of information.

Township Heights is an amazing community with amazing members; you
already appear to have some qualities Township Heights seeks.

Until a later date,

Happy New Year!


Jay Blankenburg
Assistant to the Mayor
Township Heights

mskravitsWelcome to Ms. Kravits Township Blog

Yes! Township Days are fast approaching and I cannot wait to participate. This should be the "must attend" event of the year. As they say "If you're not there, you are square!"
For all of you that have not eaten at the new "Italiano's Cafe", you are missing out. The service and food is premium all the way. It is my new favorite!
If you have been wondering like the rest of Township Heights who donated the $$$ for the new Aquatic Center? I have dug up some information, our good ol' friends at Developmentis!
OK, not to mention actual names, but I did recently see a local establishment owner in Township Park with the new local news anchor. I wonder if this is a "major" development?

Until next time...Enjoy Life!

What makes you think they shot him? Did he say anything different than what's been posted?

Oh, and the address mskravitzSPLATtownshipheights.org doesn't bounce either.

Yes, there was a large "boom" and then the line went flat. It could have been the bad connection, but it was just such a distinctive "boom".

Just out of curiosity ... Does anybody that got a call from Robert Ridge know WHERE the call came from? How the call came through? Unavailable? An Area Code?

I'm not sure how these things work, but I have the number he called from. It's only 7 digits, though. That's a bit odd, right?

well I just signed up, and I work during the day, and I have roommates... so incoming calls will be fun for me, since I don't have a cell phone right now. I let my roommates know, but if there's any phone interaction, I'll be doomed Razz...

You know, someone should create a method for a phone number to connect to an IM service that allows voice communication... I think it would be sweet if someone could call a phone number, and you'd get an incoming voice call on say, MSN messenger, no matter where you may be, as long as you're signed in. If you're not signed in it would go to voicemail. Basically ideally use a laptop like a cellphone, but phone numbers are converted to IM/VOIP...

I'm sure it's been done already, but it needs to be mainstream and/or cheap Razz

anyway back on topic

Edit: never mind... Skype's actually got a beta right now called SkypeIn that does exactly that - a regular phone number people can call that connects to your Skype account... nifty Smile

I just got a really odd call and the phone number came through as 412. I wouldn't say it was me (damn bill collectors) so they just asked again and hung up.

By the way, if anybody wants to talk game ... Insanitarium2k6 on AIM or Yahoo Smile

[phonecall] about Township Heights
It's not safe there anymore!

So just got a call, dude says,
Quote:
I used to work in township heights, not anymore, I left. I need to warn you, things are not right in Township Heights. The new Mayor cane in & new Developers came & things have changed, it's not safe anymore. I got your info from a list of people who are looking to move to Township Heights & I need to tell you it is NOT safe, spread the word


Word spread Wink

Really neat part is it ends up being a local # that called me (according to caller ID)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
(504) 210-8880

504 your area code?

Thought: I just loaded up skype to try it out, and tested calling my home number - the caller ID showed as a local phone #. Perhaps they're using Skype for calling land lines (SkypeOut)

Calling that number back gives a, "This call can not be completed as dialed" message.
