Penny Dillon (219.5445) called the night of 9.22 to complain about the loud music at Lotusfest. She said she could hear it inside her house, a mile away from downtown. She said it's "not good for the community to be put through this every year" and she doesn't care if it does bring business to the area. She asked for a call back so she could discuss the matter in depth.
Jeff Ellington called on 9.26 to voice her frustration over something that had happened that morning. He was removing a tree that had fallen on a house on E. 11th St and the homeowner, Phil Stringfellow, had to move his car to accommodate Jeff's service truck. The homeowner had no other choice but to park on the street while the roof was being fixed, but still received a parking ticket. Jeff didn't think that was fair and said the parking enforcement officer "should have used some common sense."
I just took possession of a home I bought as sidewalk construction on E. Morningside was being completed. The home is at 4021 E. Morningside. It is my understanding the City redid part of the driveway after having to destroy it for sidewalk work. Unfortunately it appears a corner of the drive (front right / SE) is already cracking/chipping/spalling (see photo). I'm requesting the City patch this up before it continues to flake (not huge now but would like addressed so as not to spread) as an area driven over frequently. Otherwise looks fantastic and very happy with the new sidewalk and drive portion. Great neighborhood addition.
