I need to have my water switched over from my old house to my new apartment. My old address was 1204 N. Lincoln st, and my new one is 1720 N. Lincoln St. This needs to happen as soon as possible. Thank you.
Yesterday on N. Curry Pike I hit a pothole which has caused some damage to my vehicle. I hit it south of the railroad tracks. When I reached 3rd St. I noticed that my vehicle was suddenly riding funny when I hit my brakes. My wife has taken our car in and its estimated to be about $300 in damages. If you need to contact me please cal 812 360 5550. Thank you, Alexander Floyd

17th and Jackson. U-haul buisines is creating a traffic hazard by parking their trucks poorly. They have reduced roadway to one lane right outside of parking lot for pre school, and made visibility leaving parking lot low. They are also using a great deal of residential parking.
I was shocked to see that parking meters were installed at the center of Bloomington, IN and I was used to having 2 hour parking. I feel that this will be hitting the people that can least afford it--the students and their families that come to Bloomington. I used to come to Bloomington to visit the bookstores in the past but I don't know if I will be coming back in the near future--it took my money and the meters only used my Dad's credit card. Thank you for this attention.
I am writing this in regards to an elevator issue in which I was apart of at Smallwood Plaza. I am concerned about the safety hazard their elevators pose. On July 26, 2013 3:30 pm I had just come home from work at about 3:00 pm. I parked my car in the B1 garage of Smallwood so I could move my things back and forth easily. I went up to my apartment (the elevator seemed normal at this time), put my phone to charge, rested a bit, and then went back down to my car because I was moving. After packing my car, I went back to the elevator to go back upstairs to my apartment, on the 7th floor. I keyed my card to go up, the elevator started rising, and I heard a peculiar sound. The best way I can describe this sound is that it sounded like chains rubbing against each other. Then, the elevator shook and jolted. Luckily, I didn't get hurt, but I was forced to the other side of the elevator because of the jolt. I immediately pressed the emergency button as well as the alarm button. After waiting for 5 minutes with no response, having no phone because I had left it to charge, I started to panic and hyperventilate. I waited for 30 minutes alone in this elevator. I looked for the emergency phone in the box and was horrified to see that it wasn't there. I had pressed the emergency button for 30 minutes. I had looked up at the security camera thinking, "can't you see me?!" Thirty minutes later, a girl on the other side of the elevator said: "is anyone in there? I replied: "yes can you please open the elevator?!" "I can't it's not opening. I will go get help, ok?" I was thankful that someone had heard me. A couple of minutes later, a maintenance guy showed up. He opened the elevator with his hands, and gave me his hand so I could climb down because the elevator was stuck in between floors. It took a little more than a week to fix the elevator. After my incident, I first talked to someone in the City of Bloomington building and he said to talk to Smallwood first and then report back if nothing was resolved. I talked to the Smallwood office management. Their response to me was "It happens, it's normal." Appalled, I said, "Well, will you let me know what happened?" and she replied "what do you mean" and I said: "well, with the elevator..." and she said: "I can take your name and number and have my manager call you" Whitney, the woman I had this short conversation with, seemed to be completely dry and not concerned about this situation. I never heard from the manager or the office. I find this issue to be a huge safety hazard to the public. Please let me know what will be done about this situation. Thank you, Priscilla Massey
