The phones in the area have started to work sporadically (on again off again). So keep trying…
Overall, this area looks pretty good. He reported seeing a policeman at every drugstore, and there are far fewer people “out on the streets”, generally.

More soon…

I am a teacher at Alice Harte. Any news about when the school could reopen? I know it didn’t suffer much damage and am anxious to return to my neighborhood(Eton St.) and get back to class with my studentsl.
