RELATIONS, hm page I
One of many dangerous potholes. Below: The lone newsstand.
Pleasant Living. It's my fault and I
accept that, and I will not point the finger
at others who have glaring violations that
stare you in the face every day. I won't do
that, accept when it comes to the city itself.
It's nice that the city came and cleaned
up the alley, as the neighbors' trees had
grown over the fence and were hanging
all over the alley. The guys and maybe
gals spent day upon day, trimming, cut-
ting back and hauling away the debris,
trash and junk that had accumulated
over a very long time. They did a great
job and I commend the city for doing it.
Now comes my dig. At the end of the
alley or beginning, depending on which
end is the head or the rear end, there are
giant potholes, deep ones, dangerous
ones, ones that can break your car, ones
that are so deep that an unsuspecting
motorist could break their car, or a walk-
er could fall into one and break a toe, or
worse, a leg or maybe fall face down into
the potholes and hurt themselves or
maybe crack their skull: You know, it's a
hazard back there, back there specifically
around 65 Street and the alley, which is
between SW 62 Avenue and 62 Court.
So, fo&% be aware there are huge pot-
holes on the city maintained "street," right
behind the small food store on SW 62 Ave.
Be careful when you walk around
there, cuz it's dangerous and a public
hazard, and it looks way worse than our
measly old newsstand. Now guys, if you
just happened to fall and break your leg
and want to sue the city for failing to
maintain its property in a good working
condition and for allowing the condi-
tion to get worse and 'worse over all
these years, (especially after being put
on notice) I'll betcha, yup betcha, that
you can sue and collect more than if you
fell on the properly maintained street or
if the city didn't know the street was in
such deplorable condition.
And here's a little suggestion to the city
manager: take my $200 which the city
now has and shove it into the city coffers
so that you can get the money to fix up
the worst street in the city, before some-
one gets hurt and on top of that have to
pay their medical bills and legal fees.
. P.S. It would have taken about two min-
utes for the ticket writer to come to our.
front door and say "Thanks for cleaning
up those old stands, but there still is one
back there that needs to be removed."
But, heck, that would have been too
easy, and the city does need the money
so that it can pay the legal fees that are
being.built up with the city defending
itself against the former city manager
Ajibola Balogun. But not maintaining
good relations with its citizens and busi-
nesses can cost the city a lot more than
it gains through unnecessary fines.
