What Low Income housing can do to a Street

But yet they will enforce signage ordinances.

Bingo Vet.   I ask myself why the City wants this everyday I drive to work and for the life of me I can't figure it out.  But as some on Council continually say, "we have to remember who we are, a steel town."  Like it is some terminal disease or something.

If you report it...they will come.
The dumpster people that is. We complained about the dumpster in our alley behind our building. They were overflowing and smelled something awful before MidFest in 2007. The area I'm talking about was one of MidFest's MAIN entrances. We took photos and e-mailed to a certain person we knew at the city.
They were actually inspected and checked on. The business had to explain why their garbage was exploding from their dumpster. We took photos and reported that to the city. The city dumpster people (I don't know what else to call them, without checking my e-mails), actually had a meeting with this business and checked them out for a couple of week. We still have this issue. We still have photos, but have not really complained. This business blames it on "homeless people" and such. That is so untrue. We see what happens. We are in the same building. Our dumpsters are side by side.
It isn't as bad as it used to be. The business we complained about, if I mentioned it, you would understand, is doing a community service. So we can only complain/do so much. I have also complained about the smoking, but not directly to the 888 number.

Lack of pride? How about laziness? I also drove by that area this past saturday 12.27.08, saw it all.
What is the matter with people? I would think as a landlord, this would be a rule. Keep your place cleaned up.
Do you feel comfortable throwing your cigarette out your car window when you are done?
Do you feel right when you throw your McDonald's bag out the car window?
Do you feel right when you are taking a walk down your street/road/avenue/blvd and see trash and not feel the urge to pick it up?

Believe me, in my township, we pick up other people's trash on a weekly basis. Beer cans from drinking & driving in the country. Cigarette packs, old tires, bags of McDonalds, etc. You get the idea. If we have a big problem all we do is call the township, they come and clean it up. Especially tires and spray painted porn on the road or street signs.

It starts at home! Stop being lazy and clean up your place! The weather is no excuse. Take a plastic bag from the grocery store, take a walk, insert trash into bag, deposit into your trash container. Rumpke will pick it up and take it away to the big dump down south.

I keep seeing Middie Pride magnets attached to vehicles around town. I hope their neighborhoods are kept in order.

I said Pride because the way I look at it if people have pride in themselves they find a way to do the right thing instead of waiting for someone elese to do it for them.

I was thinking I could have said Self Respect. But in this context I think Pride is a similar but stronger word.

I know someone who lives in Arlington Arms. She won't do leave or arrive to her place in the dark.
But it's all she can afford. She is in her late 60's, social security and works part time.

Arlington Arms used to be a nice place. I took piano lessons there in the late 60's early 70's maybe? My memory is get even getting tired from all of this.

What do you expect from Freedom Court, isn't that section 8? Arlington Arms is not correct?
