Amy Shrake went 'above and beyond' in allowing a family friend to be 'late enrolled' into kids city. This went again protocol, but it prevented this young lady from being home, alone, for the week in which payment got messed up. THANK YOU AMY!
what is the deposit on a residential meter
I live on the east side of town and frequently drive through the Hillside Drive roundabout. There is an irrigation system around the roundabout which seems like a terrible waste of money and water by the city. This is particularly true when the sprinklers are working despite the ample rain of the last few months. Also, if you drive through the roundabout around 8pm you will notice that the sprinklers in the north east corner of the roundabout spray out over the traffic lane which is an additional waste of water all to keep a little bit of grass green. I think the city should have landscaped this and all other roundabouts using native and drought tolerant plants and little if any grass so that money and water are not wasted keeping the area green.
East West alley at 332 South Grant Street is washed out and there is a big rut about 1/2 block long
The house next door to us has been abandoned for over a year. The yard is extremely over grown and the house is wide open. Our neighborhood has had an increased crime activity and this house is a welcome mat for people to use as a hideaway. The address is 202 E Ridgeview Dr. 47401, what can we do?
City of Bloomington Utilities: I went there and was not quite sure what to do. There was some confusion as to my new address and what fees there were. They were very helpful and polite. I was very thankful they took the time to help sort things out with me.
In the Tree plot on 4th Street at 4th & Grant. NS side of street, hole is 8" long, 4" deep, and 3 to 4 inches wide. It is 9 sections of sidewalk west of Grant, just before the 1st new parking meter.
How sad parking meters have been brought back to bloomington. I will not be shopping the downtown stores.
Curtis [Gilstrap] (not sure about the last name) was so helpful when I visited Rose Hill Cemetery last Wednesday (31 July). I knew the section numbers, but not the plot numbers for several family members. He stopped to ask if he could help. He located the plot numbers for me, directed me to them, cleaned some mold off one of the stones, took a picture for me--I had my camera, but to get a proper picture I would have needed to get down on my hands and knees, no longer possible for me! I also learned a great deal about the cemetery and its inhabitants. I don't think I told him how well-kept the cemetery is. He really seemed to care about the cemetery and its visitors and inhabitants. Please thank him again for me. Sheryn Peters
Anonymous caller asked if the pear trees in Sherwood Oaks could be trimmed... especially along Benson.
