Be Alert, JABBERS
From Team JAB
We have recently been alerted to a number of home break-ins throughout the South Miami, Coral Gables, Pinecrest and Coconut Grove areas. This is just a friendly reminder to be cognizant of your surroundings and don't let people, whether they are working on the house or making a delivery, into your home if it isn't necessary. Be careful and stay safe!

NYC Apartment Needed

From Shannah Rodriguez -Torres:  REPLY
My family has to go to NYC for about six weeks this summer so that my nine year old daughter, Bella, can get her experimental cancer treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. We are looking for an apartment/studio to rent, preferably near the hospital on the Upper East Side. We would need access to an elevator if the apartment is not on the first floor. While our dog can stay at home with our house-sitter, we would prefer to take him with us if possible. Do you have a place to rent or can you direct me to where we can find a place to stay? Many thanks!
