Dear Cat, I'm a 37 year old lesbian living and working in the City. Two years ago, I looked out my back window and caught a truck from a local company dumping excess cement into the lot behind my house. I did all the responsible things — calling both 911 and the property owner. Sadly, I […]
Wow … lots to share. First, we had one of the most delish meals in a long time this weekend at Sassy Marie's on the Northside. Seriously. The Cajun pasta I had was super reminiscent of my years in Louisiana. They made the most delicious version of kettle chips with blue cheese and scallions. And […]
Here you find today's crop of photos from the truck dumping in the lot on Faulsey Way. ** Mistake: the truck is clearly marked NAC, not MAC as I originally reported. I called and the company is called Neville Aggregate. **
Well, the yuppies have certainly done it now. Not satisfied with their choice of hundreds of homeless pets available through the nearby Animal Rescue League and the wonderful pet products offered by Smiley's Pet Pad on Highland Avenue, developers have brought in what is possibly the most low-rent tenant possible for this up and coming part […]
This is great. I put forth great energy to make phone calls, take pictures, share information and draw as much attention as possible to the whole PennDOT situation. The end result? PennDOT's Jim Struzzi promises Wagner's people that he will send out inspectors to investigate the piles of gravel and sand as well as have […]
I could not friggin believe my eyes when we returned home today and found ANOTHER pile in the field. This time it was gravel. I have several possibilities rolling around in my head. 1. PennDOT has authorized a subcontractor to store materials on the property, but won't admit it. It isn't consistent with the gentleman […]
I just spoke with 311 about the dumping incident I witnessed yesterday. She told me that it is very complicated to enforce the dumping regulations so most of the time, Building Inspection just makes the property owners clean it up. NOTE: while i am well aware that the City will deny this or speak in […]
I walked over to take some photos of the sand pile that was dumped by a company known as MAC (acronym? full name? who knows!). It gave me a chance to see what PennDOT and their subcontractors from the recent jobs on Chateau Street in Manchester and the West End Circle left behind for the […]
My dear lord. This morning, Ledcat and I saw a giant dump truck dump a load of sand into the PennDOT owned field behind our house (you'll recall that field). It dumped and scurried. We saw the truck. Now, PennDOT has had some subcontractors using the property so I decided to call them first to […]
Wow. I was just browsing through some of the people I've added as “friends” on Facebook and noticed a few names missing. Turns out, they don't like the fact that I use my logo for this blog as my image on Facebook. So they quietly dump me. At least my sister-in-law (the one in Chicago, […]
