The Parkview Agents and the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council have arranged a seminar for 7:15 P.M. at Grace Methodist on April 18th to discuss the cost and feasibility of repairing and renovating garages.
We have arranged this seminar because the fastest area of crime growth in metropolitan St. Louis is car theft and car vandalism.
Many of the vehicles which are stolen are not taken for parts, but rather for joy rides. Thefts from cars are also increasing dramatically.
In addition to radios and tape decks, child safety seats have become a sought after commodity on the black market (because of the fines levied for failure to use an auto safety seat). Keeping your car in a locked garage would reduce the potential for vandalism and theft.
The seminar is designed to present homeowners with an idea of what the potential cost is for undertaking such renovation.
If you would like to obtain a free cost quote for installing automatic door openers in your garage, please contact Nancy Farmer at the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council, 862-5122.
The Birdsong Company, the garage door experts who will be putting on the seminar, are looking for several examples of garage door installations which they could cite as examples in their presentation.
One of the reasons the Birdsong Company was selected is because they can install openers for older existing doors, thus not altering the historical aesthetics of the neighborhood.
