The deadline for weed/refuse abatement compliance is June 1
On June 1, the City's contractor begins the abatement process for parcels that are not in compliance. The contractor's fees, as well as applicable City and County fees/fines are assessed on the County's tax roll.
It's that time of the year again, and residents of Atascadero are encouraged to get an early start on weed abatement. The Atascadero Department of Fire and Emergency Services mission, through its hazard reduction program, is to eliminate vegetative growth and/or refuse which may constitute a fire or life and safety hazard.
Initial field inspections begin the first week of April to identify parcels that have hazardous vegetative growth and/or refuse. Following the inspections, letters are mailed to the property owners that have hazardous weeds and/or refuse on their property, requesting them to remove the hazards.
Property owners have until June 1st to complete the required abatement of the noxious weeds and/or refuse. If the abatement is not done by June 1st, the city's weed abatement contractor will be authorized to clear the hazardous weeds and/or refuse for the residents.
If the City contractor must clear the weeds and/or refuse, the individual property owner's tax assessment will include the contractor's cost of abatement as well as a 150% administrative fee.
"The weather in April and May varies greatly from year to year and rain can be common after property owners have cut their parcels," said Fire Chief Kurt Stone. "However, it is critically important to the overall safety of our community that property owners maintain their weeds/seasonal grass to 4" in length, year round so we can prevent small fires from becoming large," said Stone.
Per the City of Atascadero Municipal Code, Title 6 Health and Sanitation, Chapter 13 Removal of Vegetative Growth and/or Refuse, Section 6-1.08 Notice to Destroy or Remove Vegetative Growth and/or Refuse and Ordinance No. 371, the following guidelines are to be adhered to:
a) Located within 100 feet of any building or structure, or to the property line, whichever is nearer; b) Located within 50 feet from the edge of any improved roadway; c) Located within 50 feet from each property line; d) Located within 10 feet on each side of driveways.
Exemptions shall apply to any land beyond 50 feet from improved streets, as declared by the City, State or Federal Government, which has been acquired or is managed, for one or more of the following purposes: a) Animal pastures and agricultural fields growing hay or grains. The interior portion of fenced pastures where the quantity of livestock significantly reduces the vegetative growth, therefore bringing the parcel into compliance. Agricultural fields must be cut at harvest time. Uncut hay and grain is subject to abatement.
b) Habitat for endangered or threatened species or any species that is a candidate for listing as an endangered or threatened species by the State of California or Federal Government.
c) Land kept in a predominantly natural state as habitat for wildlife, plant, or animal communities.
d) Open space lands that are environmentally sensitive parklands.
e) Other lands having scenic values.
Abatement requirements shall remain in effect in waterways where flood preparation measures and emergency flood control mitigation is necessary.
1) This exemption applies whether the land or water are held in fee title or any lesser interest. This exemption applies to any public agency, and private entity that has dedicated the land or water areas to one or more of those purposes or uses, or any combination of public agencies and private entities making that decision.
2) This section shall not be construed to prohibit the use of properly authorized prescribed burning to improve the biological function of land or to assist in the restoration of desired vegetation.
3) In the event that any lands adjacent to land or water areas, as described above, are improved such that they are subject to this chapter, the obligation to comply with Section 6-13.04 shall be with the person owning, leasing, controlling, operating, or maintaining the occupied dwelling or occupied structure on the improved lands. All maintenance, activities, and other fire prevention measures required by Section 6-13.04 shall be required only for the improved land, and water areas as described above.
Questions regarding weed abatement may be directed to 805-470-3300 or by writing to: City of Atascadero, Fire Department, Fire Marshal, 6005 Lewis Ave., Atascadero, CA 93422.

My Used S80 Is Aging Me... Rapidly!
21st May 2017 - 04:29 AM
Last post by:
I'm new to the forum, me let me start with 👋. I purchased a used S80 and since its last trip to the mechanic, its been struggling. My check engine light came on about a week after. And it started stalling seconds after you start it. At first it happened occasionally. Then only first thing when you start it in the morning. Now its everytime you start the car. What I've had to do is sit with my foot on the gas for about a minute and then test it out. If I put the car in gear too soon, meaning I didn't give it gas for long enough, then it stalls. If you try and give it too much gas, it will rumble then cut off.
I don't want to take my car back to that mechanic. Truth be told they aren't even foreign car mechanics. Its the shop that holds my warranty. Anyone deal with this and know whats causing it?
Car Overheating
Radiator fan not working
10th May 2017 - 08:55 AM
Last post by:
Please i need help. My radiator fan does not kick in on time, it works like it has a mind of it's own. I always have to turn my airconditioner on before the fan blows.
The car is overheating, its a 1999 Volvo s80. I have called a mechanic in my country Nigeria, and they said they have to relay the fan to work direct, which means they have to hotwire the fan to the battery, it wouldn't work with the thermostat anymore.
Please i want to know if this proposed method will not have any effect on water flowing into the engine when the thermostat won't be working anymore.
Please someone help me before i ask them to proceed.

Upgrading Hu611 Radio To Hu801
6th January 2017 - 02:28 AM
Last post by:
I would like to upgrade my radio in my 1999 S80 from the HU611 to the HU 801.
I can buy a used HU801 for $275.00 but I do not know if it is that simple. Are the two systems completely different? Ie. do they use different speakers, do I need to buy the center speaker, does it utilize external amps???? I would like to keep the same factory look and not use an aftermarket head unit. Also is it possible to use aftermarket amps and speakers with either OEM head unit? I have not looked behind to see if there are any RCA outputs. Any words of advice would be appreciated. Jeff

Looking for some tips on what to look at first. The main complaint is that I have a rough idle.

Water In Boot Area
3rd August 2016 - 12:37 PM
Last post by:
Hi all,
I keep getting rainwater in the boot area of my 1998 S-80. I have chequed and remounted the rear lights with some silicone.
The water comes out of a small box section on the rear panel. This box section is situated next to the top of the battery and has a round hole in the middle where the water comes out.
This small box section goes all over the rear panel and sweeps up on the sides.I have no idea how the water can get in there.
Some ideas?

2001 S80 T6 - Won't Start
31st July 2016 - 03:20 PM
Last post by:
Hey all, im new to this forum but not new to working on vehicles. This S80 is/was my roommates and he has graduated and gone back home to Germany (leaving me the car..). Long story short, I was going to sell it / part it out because it does not run but I've decided to see if I can get her running instead.
I know a little bit of her history. Before it stopped running, it definitely felt like a cylinder was misfiring bad and I believe she was burning some oil.
I went in and changed all 6 plugs out. When doing this I found two interesting things. Assuming that the cylinders are numbered in order from left to right 1-6, then 1 and 6 had oil under the boot and above the plugs. I am guessing for 6 (the one near the oil fill cap) that someone probably went to put oil in and spilled A LOT. I do not have any idea for the other cylinder though.
I tried to start her up (obviously the battery is dead) by jumping it with my truck, I believe I got the starter to click, but the engine did not turn over at all.
I obviously have some ideas of things to check, such as checking if the plugs are actually sparking and then possibly going towards leaking injectors. You all know a lot more about volvos than I do so I would love some advice as how to continue on with this!
Thanks in advance

I have A 2001 S80 T6 and i have needed to replace/service my PCV system for a while now. The indicators are; smoke coming out from both the dip stick and oil cap when removed. and now a very small oil leak coming from the top rear right corner of the engine. I am fairly mechanically inclined and have done a lot of repairs and services to my car already such as radiator replacement, oil changes etc. I THINK i can do the replacement of the oil trap and hoses my self but i have been unable to find any official repair manual and i don't want to cause any damage to my car by attempting to replace the system if i cant complete the job. Do i need to remove the serpentine belt and assembly to do the replacement if i am removing the intake manifold? And how to i properly re instal the intake manifold with out over tightening or under tightening the bolts. What special tools are needed if any? and what are good quality replacement parts that are inexpensive I use mostly IDP or german parts for my car. what is less expensive but still good quality. I am a college student and don't have 600-800$ to have the repair done at a shop. Any advice is much appreciated

2001 T6 Steering Tremor When Slight Turning
17th June 2016 - 02:52 PM
Last post by:
My S80 has a steering wheel tremor when I make slight ( 15 to 45 degree) wheel adjustment at slow speed and usually l when you have stopped and want to turn or slight directional changes while going less than 35 mph.
I have had 4 wheel alignment done after getting new tires, new control arms, ball joints , both half shafts, tie rods and tie couplings. The car rides fine at speed. I changed upper torque rod lastly. Am wondering is the lower torque link needs be done too.
I had inserted the IPD carriage mount bushing "fillers" a year ago.
Front Shocks (boge) are 1 year old. Could it be the shock columns spring seat and/ or bearing?
Or is this a tranny or rack or power steering issue? I flushed the p/s fluid but no change.
Anybody experience this!, Comments welcome-

17th June 2016 - 02:28 PM
Last post by:
I had to replace a bad bearing (hub assembly) on the drivers side (left) of my 99 volvo s80 t6. the axel was corroded/rusted in so I had to take the axel out with the whole hub and have it pressed out of the bad hub at a local shop. Put the axle back in and the new hub assembly with out any other issues everything went together smoothly. put the car down and put it in reverse and heard a clunk as I started to back up the front end went up and down. had my brother watch the front left wheel when i put it in drive and rolled forward and the hole tire is going up and down as it rotates. does anyone have a clue on what this might be or where to look. I took it all apart again and checked the axle and joints for smooth movment and it all feels good. I noticed that the male drive (where the axle sleeve goes on and in) coming out of the transmission wiggles up and down, is that normal?

Last post by:
Hi anyone and everyone
Please excuse this newbie to this forum and forgive me if this is somewhere else on the forum. I have done the search bar thing but probably due to a slow and sucky internet thing happening today I figured it quicker to do it this way and hope someone, somewhere can help (possibly an NZer familiar with our GSM networks)
I have now owned 9 Volvos and my current acquisition has seeming phone issues, not before experienced. I have a 128k GSM SIM inserted with preloaded contacts etc. I have all my phone settings completed and seemingly working ...my last attempt was to make a call from the car phone. I followed usual procedure right up to 'Search' sought my own preloaded cell contact, hit YES to dial and the system reverted to <<Memory Menu>> and failed to make a call. I tried this several times with the same result. I then attempted to send a text. I got "failed to send" in the display.
Would this be an issue with the unit itself or the SIM card. The GSM company is one I have used before but have wondered if possibly it is a 2G or 3G issue? Are these phones specifically 2G or 4G. I do know that the company have grown from 2G to 4G progressively and now suspect it could be this that is possibly the problem. Is anyone knowledgeable enough to help here with some info so I can get this sorted SOMEHOW?? Please?? Lol. I am pretty familiar with phones and tech stuff as I work for a major NZ phone provider (which sims don't work in Volvos I discovered back in Car 6) Anyone able to help at all? TIA

2003 s80 t6 transmissions issues. when i bought the car i knew it was going to have put some work into the transmission. so the plan was find a used one rebuild it and install well after way to long of not having my car i had the mech. just install the used tran and figured who knows maybe ill get lucky and get a decent amt of time on the 2nd and hold on the the original and have it rebuilt and waiting. i made it from end of dec tell a few days ago when i lost reverse after the long shifts and sliping progressively got worse.so i would use the shiftronic to control the long shift as best as possible. recently i had done a filter change which helped for about a week. i called one of the best rans shops in town 3500 for a rebuild and install. during the conversation she had told me the very lg majority of problems with the gm tran. was valve body failure. so i guess what i need to know what are the chances that it is only the valve body. and how hard it is to swap out. i am very mech. inclined but also smart enough to know when to let someone else do the repair. if it isn't that hard don't need any special tools would installing a different valve body not on this tran just to be able to have my car now and have the org one rebuilt at a shop with the upgraded parts and then swap it with the fully upgraded and rebuilt tran
thank you for anyone's thoughts

On my 2000 Volvo S80, the Engine cooling fan doesn't work sometimes, I checked the fuse box and it looks good, knowing the fan is relatively new and knowing that I have codes and check engine light for the Coolant Temperature sensor do you think that have any effects? usually the fan keeps running after turning off the engine for 5 min but now it's not working at all. any ideas?

2001 Volvo S80 Will Not Start
19th February 2016 - 10:26 PM
Last post by:
Prior to this problem - the car had an error code P0011- Intake Camshaft Position Timing - Over-Advanced (Bank 1)
Otherwise car started and drove fine.
Last Friday, my wife filled the tank at a station about 2 miles away in Ramsey and then drove home.
The next morning, my daughter started the car, put the car in reverse and moved about a foot when the car stalled and would not start.
I noticed that when trying to start the car, the tach needle did not move.
I checked the following:
Placed the battery on a charger to keep it charged while attempting to find the problem.
Checked the fuel pump fuse - #33. Was good
Fuel Pump Relay. SKIPPED because car passed pressure test
Checked for pressure at the fuel rail. Fuel flows from the schrader valve when depressed and re-pressurizes after turning key a few time. While there appears to be pressure, I dont hear the fuel pump engage.
Pressure test at schrader valve and got 54psi on crank then 52 and 15 minutes later down to 40psi
Sprayed starting fluid in the air duct and tried to start.
Replaced the engine camshaft position sensor.
Replaced the engine crankshaft position sensor. The tach now moves a bit when trying to start.
Replaced the Variable Cam Solenoid and gasket which might have been the source of the P0011 error. Reset the error code. Needed to cut the old connector off and fit a new style connector.
Checked for spark and got it.
Called gas station, He doubts problem with gas. They get 2 tankers per day.
Removed throttle body. Tried to start the car while viewing the butterfly. The butterfly does not move when I press the accelerator.
Sent the throttle body back to a company that repaired the throttle body a year ago and offered a lifetime warrantee. They just called to tell me that the throttle body tests as good.
Only thing I have not changed in the mass airflow sensor. There are no obstructions in the duct and the sensor look fine. I ordered a new one that will arrive on Monday.
Anybody have any idea of what might be wrong?

'01 S80 T6 Hu-801 Din Out Diagram
Simple connection wanted with a 3.5mm male stereo jack

Hello all,
Does anyone know the input/output diagrams of the HU-801 stereo? I am wanting to make a connector from the DIN in the back ot the head unit to a 3.5mm stereo jack. I just want to be able to add the music from my phone (mp3's)
It seems everything about this car is a national security as there is hardly any good information to be found. Sorry for the moan love the car, but made far to difficult to modify and play around with.
I can't believe that making a connector like this should have to be so hard? There much be a better way than spending $100's on a pre-made adapter kit.
All help appreciated with this..
S80 Not Starting
ideas anyone
4th January 2016 - 08:15 PM
Last post by:
Hi all I'm new to the forum but a long time Volvo driver and lover!! I recently bought a non starting 03 S80 D5, I'm wondering has anyone else experienced a non starting S80? I got the car so cheap I simply couldn't refuse it. The story goes, apparently a diagnostics test shows flywheel fault however after purchase i have discovered a little history. The car has been to quite a few specialists including diesel injector specialists and no one can get the car to start. Has anyone had a d5 not starting and discovered the fault. I'm in no hurry to get the car on the road as it will be a replacement taxi for my 406 which is still PSV'd till next April. As I'm not a french car fan I would be happy getting the Volvo on the road sooner but at least I have a bit of time. My experience however shows that when something seems so major and no one can solve it is when it turns out to be fairly simple. Any help or ideas would be so much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No Dash Lights, Or Steering Column Buttons

Last post by:
Hi All,
I am a new member here on the S80 forums so please forgive me if my post is in the wrong place, also I'm not very knowledgable about Volvo's again please forgive me for my ignorance. I have encountered a problem with my 2002 Volvo S80 2.9, the problem of no dash lights in the instrument cluster. The only two lights that come on are the check engine light and the warning light to close the door. I also have a problem with the radio controls and instrument cluster controls on the steering wheel seeing as they do not work. To give some back ground on my S80 I received it from my cousin back in 2013 the car had been sitting for a year or two. I fixed all the mechanical faults but the instrument cluster was temperamental and would only function sometimes, for example if you hit a pot hole it would either turn or off and also randomly turn on or off. I have tried to replace the following fuses in the cabin with no success 9,14,23,25,32. I have not touched the relays anywhere also to note. I did pull the instrument cluster out and examined it to see if something was loose and the board seemed pretty solid nothing loose or out of the ordinary. I then thought maybe it was an orange plug that was connect to the wheel, come to find out it was the steering wheel control and then it stopped working. I then tested the plug which the cluster connects to and only one outlet on the plug was giving me constant power and few were very week. Note I also preformed this test with a cheap tool that measures current. If anybody could provide me with any advice or any solutions I would greatly appreciate it! If there are any parts I need please list them, there is a place not far from me with many volvo's for parts.
Thank you all in advance for any help at all.
Best Regards,
Zach (A newbie to the Volvo Life)

Can You Tell Me What This Is?
Unknown Rubber Parts...
24th October 2015 - 01:09 AM
Last post by:
I read posts here before; I thank contributors for secondary assists!
This is my first time posting:
My girlfriend drives a 2000 S-80 T6; She is fairly protective of it = usually pays for mechanical work.
Occasionally, she has had trouble with a generalist lacking some Volvo-specific info that would have helped solve the problem in question quicker.
Lately, we had trouble isolating a coolant leak...had take it in 3 times before determining that some OTHER repair worker had over-tightened a worm gear clamp holding the over-flow tube next to the cap on the reservoir tank; and cracking it clean through. It would only leak under certain post shut down conditions, and usually, only a small amount, so only saw drops once in a while.
I was SO disappointed in this experti$e displayed in figuring this out (not to mention the cost, and inconvenience...),
that I insisted on sourcing and installing the replacement tank myself. Got a pretty good deal on one mail-order; ordered a new cap to qualify for free-shipping! It showed up in a timely fashion, and I finally got a chance to drop it in this afternoon: My only challenge was digging out the broken stub from the narrow gauge tubing...
Clamped everything back up, topped it off, and it ready to rock!
WHY, then, am I posting, do you ask?!?
As I popped the hood, I noticed a front corner of the hood drooping, so I decided to turn the rubber bumper peg a half-turn, or so, to try and even it up...as I did that, I noticed two flat rubber bits just sitting there, next to the hood latch.
They are labeled "Volvo" and "Sweden" with numbers 9190920 and 114, as well as being labeled as 'EPDM' Rubber compound...
They are about 1 cm thick, and 1 1/2 inch by 1 1/4 inch (or metric equivalent?), and have a 1/2 inch round hole through them, and LOOK like they are meant to slide-mount into a keyhole slot in a flat surface.
I tried to search several parts suppliers, and general google search, and obviously didn't make much progress...
I would certainly appreciate any additional info you guys could come up with...
I am attaching jpeg's... Since there's been several heads under this hood lately, it is very possible that these parts are NOT from this car..
Thank you!

Window And Lock Issues
Rear passenger window will not go up
1st October 2015 - 04:26 PM
Last post by:
I'm not a mechanic by any means but pretty handy if your specific with your responses.
I'm having issues with the rear power locks and the rear passenger window. Since the weather is turning I need to get the window closed (don't care about the locks at this time). I can presently get the window to go down with both the local switch and the main console switch but neither will get it to go up.
I've tried the following:
-Forcing the window up by brute force- no go
-Swapping the drivers side switch with the passenger side switch - no go
-Clean all the connections and making sure all fuses etc are good - no go
-Unhooking the wire harness (2 wires) at the motor and attempting to force the window up by using battery and cables to provide power directly to the motor (while grounding)
-Testing the switches with a multi meter - Power to the switches are fine
-Something about locking and unlocking 5 times
Nothing seems to work. Can the window motor be bad even though I can get it to go down???
I even purchased a new main switch (drivers side) and swapped it out but then nothing worked. I contacted seller and he said after installation, the dealer needs to update the computer system for it to work??????? so I reinstalled the old one.
I cannot afford to have someone else do this so any information would be greatly appreciated.

T6 Vs Non Turbo Etm
26th August 2015 - 05:16 PM
Last post by:
I recently ran into a problem where I believe the ETM is failing. Upon ignition, the car will throttle just fine; however if you ever let go of the acceleration peddle you can't accelerate the car and it goes into limp mode(doesn't get past 20mph). My mechanic said that it might be an ETM problem so naturally I went to the junk yard and picked out a used ETM. Within a few hours the mechanic called me back and said that the ETM didn't fit as it is a non-turbo ETM and I need a turbo ETM. So my question is: is there really a difference between the two and would simply cleaning the ETM resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance this is really frustrating.

Researchers claim those who take vitamins to ward off serious conditions such as cancers, heart disease or strokes would be better off buying more fruit and vegetables.
The findings of the study by scientists at Oxford University were immediately criticised by the multi-million pound vitamin industry. Around £175 million is spent each year on pills and supplements said to help combat ill-health and disease.
Research leader Professor Rory Collins said: "They are safe - we didn't find any hazards. But they are useless."
He said 20,000 people were monitored for five years. "We saw absolutely no effect on vascular disease or any cancers. There have been claims that vitamins might protect you against cataracts, there was no effect; that vitamins might prevent fractures by preventing osteoporosis, there was no effect."
Mr Collins said fruit and vegetables provide a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. "There is no need to supplement this with vitamin pills.
According to the medical journal The Lancet, half of those in the study were given daily doses of vitamin C, vitamin E and beta carotene while the other half took dummy pills.
Those who took the vitamins were just as likely to die from any cause. Scientists found no protection against heart attacks, cancer or strokes. Bone and eye health was also unaffected. Vitamin E tablets are purported to slow the decline of the brain but researchers saw no sign of this. Rates of respiratory disease such as asthma were the same for those taking the vitamins and the dummy pills.
Those taking the vitamins were found to have experienced a small but definite increase in harmful cholesterol, although it never reached an unsafe level.
Dr Jane Armitage said the doses administered were the same as many over-the-counter supplements. The people in the study were aged between 40 and 80 and deemed to be at high risk of heart attack or stroke because they suffered from coronary disease, artery disease or diabetes. They were given 600mg of vitamin E, 250mg of vitamin C and 20mg of beta carotene twice daily. But the scientists found their level of risk owed more to other aspects of their lifestyles and the tablets had little effect.
A spokesman for the Health Supplements Information Service said: "This study was carried out across a narrow group of people, who had conditions putting them at high risk of contracting diseases such as diabetes, and over a relatively short period of time.
"Antioxidants have widely proven health benefits when taken by the general population as a supplement to a balanced diet or when a person's diet does not contain enough nutrients. They are not intended to be used for the treatment or prevention of serious illnesses such as heart disease or cancer."
Recent reports suggest the sales of vitamins and minerals rose by three per cent between 1996 and last year.

Re: ps home relationships?
To me, I'm not really into online relationships, like I used to be, plus I don't feel comfortable dating on home, I just rather look around and just hang with friends. I think it's actually cute to see a couple dancing together.
What I don't like is guys who wants to start a "relationship", but have no clue how to approach a woman.
Wow, my signature is bright!

Re: ps home relationships?
To each there own is how I look at this and most things in life , if something makes someone happy ( within the law of course haha) then I don't see anything wrong with it.
I had a home g/f once but it was more of a good friend not a relationship so to speak.
I can't speak much on this subject but like I said , if it makes you happy go for it ,there's to much hate in the world as it is as well as on home so theres nothing wrong with folks being happy together and if it turns into more and leads to something amazing for those who do than I am very happy for those couples.
Just my opinion.

'Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete' finds boys navigating a dangerous world
Film by Milwaukee native George Tillman Jr. focuses on friendship
The title of "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete" lowers your expectations from the start.
When defeat is inevitable, what could possibly qualify as victory for the film's two young protagonists, played by Skylan Brooks and Ethan Dizon? Survival?
But director and Milwaukee native George Tillman Jr. measures success by another yardstick — friendship.
When their junkie and/or hooker mothers leave them unattended for the summer, these two unlikely partners — African-American and Korean-American — must team up to navigate the precarious hallways inside and mean streets outside the housing project where they live.
The result is a "Boondocks"-flavored mismatched buddy film — more like an episode of "The Wire" than an after-school special — that, like Tillman's debut 16 years ago, "Soul Food," looks at the world through children's eyes.
But this time the view is a bleak survey of a lost generation of parentless and powerless kids left to their own devices in a dysfunctional world where a local drug kingpin, played by Anthony Mackie, is the authority figure and child protective services is the enemy.
Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson is Mister's missing mom; her sister, "American Idol" contestant Jordin Sparks, is a troubled woman who made her way out of the project at some cost, but who is the boys' only ally; and Jeffrey Wright is a homeless veteran.
While they are surrounded by obstacles, they also have hopes and dreams. Brooks' movie-obsessed character sets his sights on an acting audition as a way out of his daily drama, and Dizon struggles to help him.
It's hard to watch the film's harsh reality — it is set in the Ingersoll Houses in Brooklyn — but screenwriter Michael Starrbury grew up in Milwaukee's Hillside Projects, and Tillman's grandmother lived in the nearby Lapham projects, and the film's textures are surely informed by those experiences.
But the real heroes of "Mister and Pete" are the terrific performances of the two young actors Brooks and Dizon, who humanize the proposition that dreams delayed need not become dreams defeated.

In September 2005 Glenn Wildenmann, a Montreal Canadiens fan, took his two daughters to watch his beloved ice hockey team in a pre-season training session. A photographer from the local paper took their picture and Wildenmann remarked to the journalist that this was now the only time a father of four could possibly afford to take his kids to see the side. The following day the club's owner, George N Gillett Jr, read the piece and phoned Wildenmann to invite him and the children to watch a National Hockey League game in the owner's private box once the season began.
If Gillett's six years as owner of the Canadiens are anything to go by, Liverpool fans may be in for interesting times, because by early next week Gillett, and his partner on this venture, Tom Hicks - the owner of baseball's Texas Rangers - should be the new owners at Anfield.
After initial misgivings by Montrealers about an American purchasing Canada's oldest, most successful and revered club - their jersey is known as La Sainte-Flanelle, the Holy Sweater - Gillett has proved to be a hands-on owner of Les Habitants in the best possible way. Even though he lives a couple of thousand miles away in Denver he often travels on the team bus to games, has been known to phone fans back to answer their complaints and has thanked supporters personally at away matches for going the extra mile.
"There was concern around the city over having an owner not from Canada buying the team," said Matthew Macaskill, a contributor to Habsworld, a Canadiens online fanzine. "However, he quickly proved he was dedicated and expressed his willingness to do what he could to help the team, partly in the form of more money to go after more expensive free agents. Since the NHL has installed a salary cap, Mr Gillett is limited in his ability to help out economically. The cap hasn't completely limited him, though, as the club has the funds to spend up to the maximum amount thanks to him while other teams in the league have to work with a lower budget."
Given that any purchase of Liverpool would involve significant borrowing, the worrisome aspect for the Anfield faithful is that Gillett has a history of over-reaching himself. After an ill-fated $325m investment in a Florida television station, a transaction so unwise it was held up by the highly influential American investor Warren Buffet as an example of what he called "debt mania", Gillett Holdings Inc defaulted on $983m of junk bonds in 1991. A year later he filed for personal bankruptcy, with assets of $18.4m dwarfed by liabilities of $66.2m. As part of that settlement he paid off one creditor by giving him his antique car collection worth an estimated $5m and had to buy his clothes back from the trustee.
"My mistake," said Gillett in 1999, "was borrowing a tremendous amount of money that I could not pay back."
His fall from grace had been as spectacular as his rise. The son of a surgeon in Racine, Wisconsin, he was warned at the age of 18 that he would have to fend for himself - his father would be leaving his money to his daughters. Out of college, he started selling paper for Crown-Zellerbach before moving into marketing and consulting. At the age of 28 he owned a minority stake in the Miami Dolphins but left after a year to buy the Harlem Globetrotters. To revive that waning franchise he had the ingenious idea of getting Hanna-Barbera to produce an eponymous cartoon series which in the early 1970s helped acquaint a new generation with the antics of the basketball team.
From there, Gillett moved into the meatpacking, media and ski-resort industries. At every stop he's been praised more for his brilliant marketing (children's tickets to Canadiens games are an NHL-low C$10) than his canny management skills. In a typically American fable, the father of four boys returned from insolvency bigger and better than ever. Having failed several times to purchase NBA and NHL teams, he was finally allowed to pay $183m for Montreal in 2001 after no Canadian buyer could be found.
Gillett's compatriot, Thomas O Hicks, is in his 10th season as the owner and chairman of the Texas Rangers. Hicks, 61, is the chairman and chief executive of Hicks Holdings, a holding company for sport, real estate, manufacturing and technology assets and investments, which includes the ice hockey team the Dallas Stars.
"The businesses I've been in for the most part have been absolutely wonderful and enjoyable," Gillett once said. "We were able to put smiles on people's faces." Liverpool fans will take note.

The usual cast of characters powered a potent attack, but a shaky evening from an inexperienced back line cost the U.S. women's national team in a 3-3 draw with Germany on Friday.
After a scoreless first half, the world's top two teams erupted for six goals in the final 45 minutes, with Abby Wambach, Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan finding the net for the Americans.
But two botched clearances and a penalty kept Germany in it, including goals in the 85th and 86th minute, and the result was sealed after U.S. substitute Sydney Leroux's header was cleared off the line in the 94th.
U.S. coach Tom Sermanni went with a young defense, leaving off vets like Ali Krieger, Rachel Buehler, Becky Sauerbrunn and Kelley O'Hara. Instead, he started Crystal Dunn, Whitney Engen and Kristie Mewis — who came in with a combined 12 caps — alongside captain Christie Rampone.
Playing in front of 16,090 at Sparda Bank Hessen Stadium in Offenbach, Germany went straight at that defense and was in control early but couldn't capitalize.
After halftime, the Americans flipped the script.
Less than two minutes into the second half, Rapinoe ran in along the end line and crossed to the somehow-open Wambach, who headed it in to give the Americans a 1-0 lead and move herself within three of Mia Hamm's world record of 158 international goals.
Wambach returned the favor eight minutes later, heading the ball into the path of Rapinoe on the left side. The Olympique Lyon midfielder fired a dart of a half-volley into the far corner of the net that doubled the lead.
Kim Kulig answered for Germany by slamming home a botched clearance by Dunn, but the match looked to be in hand in the 71st, when Morgan calmly chipped the goalkeeper to take a 3-1 lead.
That's when back-to-back defensive calamities struck.
First, Rampone was called for a penalty when she got tangled up with Célia Okoyino da Mbabi, who beat U.S. keeper Nicole Barnhart — filling in for the injured Hope Solo — with a crisp shot to the left. A minute later, the Germans capped a wild sequence with a cross into the box, and when Barnhart came out for it, she was tripped up, and Anja Mittag easily found an open net for the equalizer.
Those miscues negated a very bright attacking display from the U.S. in the second half, which also included an excellent header by Lauren Cheney that was disallowed by an offside call against Wambach and Morgan, as well as Leroux's header that was cleared before the final whistle.
The draw extends the Americans' unbeaten streak to 30 games and moves them to 5-0-2 under Sermanni, albeit in disappointing fashion after surrendering a two-goal lead in the final 10 minutes.
Next, the U.S. will travel to The Hague, Netherlands, for a matchup with the Dutch on Tuesday at 1 p.m.

What did you think of the match? Worried about the U.S. back line? Think there's enough firepower on this team to overcome iffy defending?
SoCal Soccer Mom
Still trying to get the technical set up to watch these USWNT games when their not on the 'regular' television. 🙂
Not too concerned as the score was actually 4-2 USA, but the ref basically decreed the draw herself. She stole a Cheney goal on a completely fictitious offsides and awarded a German penalty on a play where the German striker blatantly ran Rampone and tripped over her lifeless body. That being said, USA central defense is extremely small and not strong enough against a big side like Germany when the ref is looking to give things away. Dunn looks incredibly talented on the right. She's just inexperienced and inconsistent. Engen is in the same boat, but a bit more inconsistent and not quite as talented. We need a big, strong CB to complement some of the talented, if young fullbacks. Rampone has had a wonderful career but she's a bit of a relic at this point.
Agree completely. The refs made some really bad calls against the US, but the defense does need some improvement.
Was with you until the last line.
Rampone? She's 37 years old and she's a 5'6 cb. That was fine 10 years ago, but many of the forwards today are much bigger, stronger and faster. She just can't match up. She fights as hard as anyone but she simply gets manhandled in the box.
I've seen this kind of meltdown since the last Gold Cup.
OB Rick
Glad to see he gave minutes to the rookies instead if just trying to win.
The Garrincha
Entertaining match, however the USWNT blew it in the last 15 minutes up two goals and the end result is a draw, AW said it herself on national German TV. " being up two goals it feels like a loss",
She's correct, just like the Men's under 23 team lost their shot at the Olympics, gone just like that, this is the harsh cruel side of Football. You must keep your eye on the prize at all times.
Hopefully the positive to all this is that C Dunn and W. Engen learn from this like O.Gonzalez learned from his error in Honduras. Dunn one of my favorite new players learned a lesson today.
First off Lady you have a good left foot, you should have used it to clear that ball all the way to Belgium, None of that light touch outside of the foot clearance standing directly in front of your goal, never! you clear that thing to Timbuktu. And Engen, You are a good sized defender albeit you were fouled but you can never expect the ref to bail you out or even to make the rite call. That German striker ran down your back and that is exactly what you should expect as a defender in the box at this level. Lastly the penalty kick was a gift. However it shows you how the rest of the world plays in such an opportunistic way in sensitive situations. That said hope the lesson is learned and respectfully Coach should have subbed out Boxx holding a yellow and a tired Captain Rampone.
I couldnt really care about this result. The fans showed up and got a show
The last 2 german goals were a joke. Penalty giving for falling over her own two legs, and the german defender plowed over the US player (no call) ? Wow
Worse was the goal taken back from the US on a imaginary offside call. Reminded me of the world cup game vs Slovenia
Imagine that, trying out a young inexperienced defense in a friendly instead of, oh I dont know, a World Cup qualifier.
Rapinoe and Morgan are incredible players.
Larry B
Exactly. This was a friendly and the best time to give the youngsters some experience. It took some very questionable refereeing for the Germans to come out of it with a draw, even with 3 rookies on the back line, and the starting GK and attacking midfielder out with injuries. But I could care less about the draw. The USWNT looked awesome offensively. And I think it is great that Semanni is giving playing time to the younger players. This team not only has incredible talent, but is also developing excellent depth.
The Garrincha
That's great!, no fans care that USWNT should have beat Germany in Germany, but that's not how Wambach, and Morgan feel about it, and I would hope and imagine the rest of the team feels a little let down for that matter. It this attitude that keeps the women #1.
I agree that the ref blew it…bad offside's and bad pk calls but not worried.
I am wondering why the German attack on our left side found people wide open all the time. Our left back not covering or left outside mid not tracking back? IDK but that was not good for us
As I watch Abby creep closer to the scoring record, I'm a bit sad. I know it will come and Abby will have scored the most goals BUT she will never be a Mia Hamm. Abby can't run, dribble and is only an average passer. What she is is a finisher. I would rather the record stay with a complete player like Mia was. The only good thing is that Abby doesn't have many years left and she won't hold the record that long. Morgan is a complete player and one that is more deserving to hold Mia's record.

In recent weeks, Motorola's customer service and warranty claims departments have taken a beating from the readers of this site and elsewhere around the internet for their failures to issue timely warranty placements of the company's flagship products.According to TrustedReviews, a $5 million class-action lawsuit has now been filed against Motorola over allegations of poor customer service.
According to a report out of Recode, it didn't take long for former Motorola boss, Rick Osterloh, to find a sweet new gig.According to Recode, Osterloh will work on Nexus hardware development alongside Android SVP Hirsohi Lockheimer, who may focus a bit more going forward on software and platform development.
A new Motorola phone is "coming soon," according to Motorola India's Twitter account.We are mostly assuming that this is a new Moto G, likely the 4th gen model, after the phone supposedly leaked within recent weeks.
The video, posted to YouTube late last week, features teens walking the halls snapping selfies and sending messages with their trusty Motorola RAZR.The video's tagline reads, "Flip back to the RAZR days of yesteryear and get ready for the future.
Last week, just as Google I/O was kicking off, a report surfaced suggesting that Motorola was moving on from the Moto X line of phones and instead introducing a new Moto Z line.Only adding to that idea, Motorola appears to have filed for a trademark on the day that report arrived for the name "MOTO Z.
To help you optimize security as you cope with complexity, InformationWeek is offering you an excl The once dominant communications equipment provider will begin trading as two companies, Motorola Solutions and Motorola Mobility.Greg Brown will remain CEO of Motorola Solutions, which includes the company's public safety, bar-code scanners, walkie-talkies and related equipment.
The smartphone world needs something new, something fresh.For companies like Motorola and LG, they can't compete with that reputation or marketing budget by just doing the same old thing.
In a statement provided to Android Police following the Lenovo Tech World keynote, Motorola says that the Moto X is "alive and well." Citing the somewhat recent launch (October, 2015) of the Moto X Force overseas, Motorola clarifies that the purpose of the Moto Z line is not to replace the Moto X, but to offer something a bit different to consumers.
Detailed on Amazon, as well as on a specially outfitted website, a lineup of Motorola–branded earbuds will launch tomorrow, ranging in price from $79 to $249.So, while Motorola's "M" logo will appear on packaging, this isn't Motorola developing and releasing the products.
This was the man at Motorola responsible for leading the company's design, which means the RAZR and Moto 360 were all created under his watch (Ooh, pun!Jim Wicks was a big deal at Motorola and in the consumer electronics industry.
Last week, shortly after embargoes lifted on Moto Z and Moto Z Force reviews, there was some confusion over whether or not these devices would see the monthly security updates that Google releases.We never expected them to arrive monthly, because Motorola has never pushed monthly security updates to any of their phones, but they sent out a somewhat vague statement to press suggesting that they will in fact release security updates, only without mention of when.
For third-party hardware developers, the Moto Mods platform creates a unique opportunity to bring a new experience to a built-in audience of Moto Z device owners.With that being said, Motorola is reminding all third-party developers (software and hardware) that made its MDK (Moto Mods Development Kit) is available for purchase in the US.
Once they explain that they are not all that impressed by what Apple has announced, Moto shows off what upcoming prototype iPhone devices are capable of.The thing is, these prototype iPhones are not iPhones at all, and instead, is the Moto Z smartphone.
In the YouTube chat, someone brought up Motorola having a possible recall of a tablet back in the day, and that's when we were reminded of this tasty gem.You see, this was not a recall, but was Motorola politely asking for XOOM tablets to be returned so the company could install 4G LTE connectivity.
According to two sources close to the matter, Lenovo just laid off hundreds of employees at Motorola, potentially more than 50% of the remaining workforce at the mobile device maker.EDIT: Motorola denies this rumor and says they plan to keep their HQ in Chicago.
But now it wants your help determining which mod to develop next.It will give those with the most promising concepts a development kit and Moto Z in order to work on their ideas.
That's because Motorola has a great implementation of modules with Moto Mods, but to succeed they need better Mods.Today, Motorola announced a whole bunch of new initiatives to get creators and developers making the next great Mod.
5G and Gigabit LTE, while not exactly the same thing depending on whose marketing department you ask, is coming.Recently shown off by Sprint at a small event in New Orleans, the company is currently working with a prototype Snapdragon-powered Motorola device to bring Gigabit LTE to customers.
If you happened upon a side-by-side picture of the G5 Plus and G4 Plus, you'd be hard pressed to find similarities between them.The earpiece is narrower than the one of the G4 Plus, and the G5 Plus's power and volume rocker are noticeably sturdier.
On this day in 1973, Motorola demonstrated the world's first portable cellular telephone and system.4lbs, cost about $4,000, and the battery only lasted for about 30 minutes of talk time.
