The current owner, Harry Barber has worked at Scotty’s since 1966. He doubles as the head cook and greeter, so be sure to say hello to the guy at the fryer... that’s very likely Harry! The style of the place hasn’t changed much either. It’s like a step back in time: from the patterned carpet to the wooden and vinyl chairs, Scotty’s screams of the good old days. But no one comes to this part of town for the scenery - they come for the food and it is timeless! This is one of the few places left you can count on for great food at a pretty reasonable price. Next, on to one of our favorite destinations - Silvio’s Italian American Museum. Let’s leave it at that, so you can experience it for yourself!

STATE-OF-THE-ART BIKE FIX-IT STATION Last year, we were able to purchase a stateof-the-art bike pump, thanks to the generous donation of the Jeff Braun Youth Sports Foundation. It was such a huge success, the HUNTINGTON WOODS MEN’S CLUB has purchased a FIXIT STATION for Mary Kay Davis Park (York/Lincoln). The Fixit includes all the tools necessary to perform basic bike repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs. The tools and air pump are securely attached to the stand with stainless steel cables and tamperproof fasteners. Hanging the bike from the hanger arms allows the pedals and wheels to spin freely while making adjustments. This public bike repair station is a remarkably useful piece of hardware for the urban commuter. It even has QR codes for smartphone users to look up common repair how-tos. TENNIS PERMITS Tennis permits may be obtained at the Gillham Recreation Center for $2/hour. Otherwise, the courts are first come, first serve (get it?) LOOKING TO HIT? Why not try Nextdoor.com? CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE nity fabric in Huntington Woods. The underlying goal is to obtain feedback on whether the availability of different types of housing (other than single family) to meet the housing needs of an aging population is compatible with the character of Huntington Woods. To be clear, at this time the City is neither advocating nor opposed to the idea of alternative housing options for an aging community. We do believe that given the population trends which show an accelerating rate of older adults as a percentage of the population, it is valuable to talk about what it means to age in place sooner rather than later. We also believe it is important to not jump to conclusions on whether this concept is beneficial to residents or how it might impact property values prior to being fully informed on the issue. We are still determining the details regarding the public forums. A future City News e-newsletter will include dates and times once finalized. …Page 13 Hometown Herald… Huntington Woods Parks & Recreation 42nd Annual July 4th Celebration 2016 Parade & Celebration Theme: The Olympics Over 40 years ago, residents Charlene Nutton & Doris Stoltenberg put together a week-long celebration commemorating July 4th.
