There have been some posts over the past few days trying to get a sustained conversation started about our neighborhood, the good, the bad and the ugly. This was prompted in part by the murder the other night. It seems as if we have neighborhood meetings, and we have small neighborhood groups such as blockwatches, but nothing really coordinated or sustained (Squire Park CC doesn’t quite fit the bill). Should we get a group of people together to help plan a possible revitalization of the Central Neighborhood Association? If you have interest in getting together to discuss next Tuesday, location TBD, please comment.

Thus far we’ve been of the mind that a small group meeting to plan larger neighborhood action might be an effective way to get started.

We woke up this morning to find our recycling moved out onto our parking strip. At first I thought perhaps this was evidence of someone looking for information to use for identity-theft (note: remember to shred your important papers, any credit card offers, etc.). However, then I noticed that someone took our glass recycling. That’s right – our glass recycling. Not only the glass in the black bucket, but the entire black bucket.

Does anyone have any ideas what this could be about? Perhaps a nascent art project? Green-up taken a step too far?

Thanks for any thoughts! We live on 22nd and Union.
