There’s a woman who sleeps and/ or stays under the old Small Favors back entrance who routinely shouts at passersby all day, every day. For years now. She definitely needs help of some sort, but those of us who love or work down here are pretty fed up.

Subject: Concern About Clogged Storm Drains on 1st Street Dear Bloomington Town Official, I am reaching out regarding an ongoing issue with leaves clogging the above-ground grated storm drains along 1st Street, between Henderson and Grant Streets. I previously reported this concern a few weeks ago, but the problem has reappeared due to the continued accumulation of leaves. The situation seems to have worsened following Bloomington's policy change to no longer collect unbagged leaves. As a result, many residents are no longer raking, and the town has become noticeably untidy. These clogged drains pose a significant risk of flooding when it rains, creating potential hazards for our community. I kindly ask for prompt attention to clear these drains and consider ways to address the broader issue of leaf accumulation to maintain the town’s cleanliness and prevent future drainage problems. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Encampment forming here. Several individuals, tents, trash etc. Also can you please just make a dedicated category to report issues with the unhoused and encampments. It is allegedly a priority for this administration.

Went for a walk with my partner and pup, ended up using my shirt as a compress for a dying man. Sorry for the smart comment, but maybe it’s time to figure out how to tackle the balance of compassionate treatment of the transient population with public safety. My girlfriend will be processing the trauma for days and Howe St has become a thoroughfare.

Police car #1249 left running in the parking lot as officer went grocery shopping and showed pictures from his phone of a vacation with Kroger staff. Officer then ran a stop sign as he left the parking lot. Presumably the police are not above reproach?

We own a business building next to Kinser Flats. During covid, business slowed down and people had to work from home. The people that still went to the office became uncomfortable there due to the fighting next door, gun fire, profanity, vagrant people who would be passed out on the back deck, human waste, needles in the yard and on deck, random junk cars in the parking lot, zombie like people with camp sites set up in the yard and huge amounts of trash. We have had to replace Hvac (5 units) 2 times due to vandalism and had a concrete block thrown through a window, another window cracked, lots of broken outdoor furnishings, torn up masonry and lawn equipment stolen from shed that was also completely torn down. As a result of all of this, the value of the property has gone down significantly. We would like to get back into the building to do business and would like help/cooperation with the city and the people running Kinser Flats to make this possible. This building was a beautiful and safe place to work and do business before Kinser Flats and now it is unsafe and impossible upkeep. Please help!!!!!!!!!! Lucinda Farkas Owner, 441 W Gourley Pike

There is a lady that stands there with a sign, not a lot, but a few times I have seen her. She is hostile towards the cars sitting at the stop light waiting for the light to turn green. She was shaking her fist at me and I thought she was going to start beating my car. There are homeless all around that area which needs to be addressed, but if any person starts beating on my car for whatever their reason is I do consider that person to be violent and I am fearing for my life. That is not acceptable in our city. Clean up our streets Bloomington.
