Well, I've been pointing this out the past month or so, via email tag, to members of the city council, as well as the chief of police, and pretty much whoever I can get to listen. My being noisy about it got my dad being ( Read more... )

(amusingly enough, saga tried to typo as sage.)

so today (as in saturday, march 28th, 2009) the neighbors spent all morning/early afternoon roto-tilling their back yard.  this yard has been left barren all winter, yellow grass in the patches that aren't just weeds and dirt.
