[RP TownTalk] Kids Today?

[Dannielle and Steve Glaros]

I'd recommend this local kid Tino who did our lawn once--my in-laws 
hired him.  He charged us $50, but it was the middle of August and we 
have a big lawn and lots of edging.  He did a great job and is very 
friendly.  His phone number is 301-927-9372.

P.S.  If you hire him, he will keep swinging by when he sees the lawn 
is high.  We've only hired him once because we like to do the lawn 
ourselves, but he does swing by and ask us if we want help.
