Here Comes Roots & Roofs

May 4

April brought some good business news to WeinlandPark: Majadi Cunningham, owner of A Head of Time,hasexpanded the shops services to include cosmetology.

Located at 1503 N. Fourth St. (just south of E. EleventhAve.), A Head of Time is now the only beauty andbarber

facility in the neighborhood.

Mr. Cunningham lived in Weinland Park from 1998 to2001. During that time he recognized the need for acommunity barber shop. Later encouraged by the new

Gateway development, he returned in 2006 as anentrepreneur.

He maintains a simple philosophy: Treat people with

respect and be a good neighbor.

Stop by and give them a try! Walk-ins and appointments are both welcome.Hours are TuesdayFriday 9:30 a.m.6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m.6 p.m.

so heres the update:

bags of trash in April. Best find? A set of keys that AAA was able to helpreturn to their very grateful out-of-town owners.

Biggest surprise? Two of the children were

given $5 tips by an impressed neighbor.

Tell us your Weinland Park Story

Weinland Park neighbor Christine Happel recentlycompleted the United Way of

Central Ohios Neighborhood Leadership Academy,an eight-month training pro-

gram for current and emerging community leaders in advocacy, consensus

building, effective collaboration, and communication skills.

I gained an increased connection to the Weinland Park community and an ap-

preciation for all of my great neighbors, whom I look forward to working with,

says Christine.

I moved to my apartment a couple of

months ago. I like it a lot except that the

kitchen sink is really tiny. So I rigged upthis overhead shelf kind of hanging thing.

When you walk into my small kitchen it

looks like there is this sculpture, and I

made it myself. It works pretty good now

and it makes me smile.
