A neighbor of yours just started a new FB that should be really useful:

• Have something to sell? Need to borrow a tool or garden equipment? Don’t want to deal with Craigslist?

  This is a group for neighbors in the Duval/Amherst/Parmer area.

  If you own a business, feel free to post your contact info. Milwood is all about supporting our neighbors! But please be respectful and don’t clog the group with multiple posts or solicitations.

  Just search for it within Facebook and ask to be added!
