I have a big concern for keeping our neighborhood looking good. This is for many reasons safety,look,resale value etc.. Some houses in the neighborhood must be abandoned (front lawn looks horrible etc..) On monday morning Charlotte Observer threw newspapers infront of everyones house instead of using the specific mailbox for them. I have complained to them on my behalf. I simply dont want someone throwing things on my driveway especially what i consider litter.

I dont know all the politics that have occured over the past couple of years. I remember reading somewhere about creating a playground somewhere and all that non-sense. I plan on attending the next meeting, but if there is any money out there people are sitting on from dues etc.. It needs to be invested in beautification of our neighborhood and safety measures.

I feel a little better now. If someone can post a list of the possible abandoned houses off of Brookstone etc.. I personally dont have a problem investing a few dollars in gas to weed wack/mow them myself. Getting some exercise and relieving a eye sore is worth it for me.

thanks
