Loud industrial noises all through the day and night. Police said they cannot do anything because this is a business. Constant noise can be heard clearly from nearby apartments (especially southernmost apartments of The Willows Townhouses and Hilltop Court apartments), and even homes 0.5 miles away in Westpoint neighborhood. Advised that this is a batch production that the business Organized Living started on Monday and will continue through Thursday.

Abandoned Elevator factory. I would like to see the building be turned into a museum in honor of the many people that worked there building some of the greatest elevators and escalators of all times. One elevator product that may have been built there was the Otis Lexan elevator. I have some friends who film these things and love the Otis Lexan. And now since many of the Otis Lexan elevators are being ripped out, my friends feel quite saddened. So if you can, please see if you can make a museum out of this in honor of one of the best elevators of all time. My friends would love you if you did. IN a way, it would be like a memorial to the Lexan line at Otis elevator company. Greyhound even has service going from St. Louis to Bloomington and the service would bring all sorts of elevator enthusiasts to the museum.

"Dear Mr. Hamilton, As my council representative has been ineffective and unsuccessful in dealing with this problem, I am calling on your office for help. For over two years the resident of 1316 South Palmer Avenue has been running a used car lot at his house. There are usually no less than six cars parked in front of his house and across the street from his house at any one time. At least one or two usually have no plates. In addition, his yard is a total mess. He doesn't care about the trash that accumulates in it. If this were a problem in Elm Heights, it would have been taken care of in one day. I understand that one can sell a car from one's property, but this man needs to find a lot that is zoned for selling multiple used cars, and move his business to that place. Please help in moving this used car lot from our street. It is an eye sore and it brings down my property value. The rest of the houses in that block, and on Palmer are very well maintained and clean. Thank you very much in advance for your attention to this matter. Best regards, Michael McCafferty"

When Bruce's Welding was granted permission to build at their present location, part of the approval included "no outdoor storage". Over the years, the accumulation of "stuff" has grown. The recent addition of steel beams to the steel stairs along North Adams Street indicates that this business needs a reminder of the agreement.

Anothony’a Pets in the Bloomington college mall buys their animals from illegal breeders/dogs farms in Martin Co. and other counties close to Monroe. The animal should live with either paper bedding or no bedding at all which results in them sleeping on cold grates. Not only should the purchasing of animals in this way be illegal as the breeding is, but these animals suffer from inhumane treatment which the owner of this establishment profits off of.
