Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Case Date:
2/7/2025

There's a huge hole left by the internet-cable installing company at the curb in front of my house, 1207 E Skylark Ct. This problem has been reported twice, tickets 192627 and 193023. Both tickets were closed but the problem remains. The contractor made a wan attempt to fill the hole, tossing some loose gravel into it, after I filed the first ticket. The attempt was useless and I filed the second ticket. It was closed without comment and, as far as I can tell, without investigation. The hole is now far deeper and wider. I realize it's likely false hope that you'll do anything more than close this ticket, forgive me, but after a winter of watching the hole grow, I'm asking again for a repair. Thank you.

Dragon Express at 3rd & Eagleson. Wonderful food. However, young male employee who takes orders at the desk runs his hands thru his hair, blows & wipes his nose, then scoops rice into carry out containers & attached lids to plastic containers without first washing his hands! He also bundles up the containers into paper bags for carry outs--adds fortune cookies--all w/out hand washing. The food is great, but if an employee on the front line is involved in handling a customer's carry out food while dealing w/ a runny nose, he needs needs to first was his hands. BTW: I worked in food service years ago.

This picture shows two items that need to be removed. One is a square shaped 2' by 2' concrete slab. It is laying on the road and could be a hazard to someone driving over it. The other is a large concrete collar that is nearby in the grass on the property of the apartment complex on the corner of the 300 block of N Lincoln St. It has been there for probably around 4 months or longer.

Business

Case Date:
2/17/2025

This week we discovered years of text messages related to prostitution on a relative's mobile phone. He is elderly and transitioning to a care home, the texts were found while getting things in order. Many were very recent (within days). The texts were related specifically to the owners of Indiana-based Asian massage parlors. The bother or close relative of the owner of a massage parlor busted in Columbus, IN owns a similar place, Lemongrass Foot Spa, 104 S Pete Ellis Dr, Bloomington, IN 47408: https://fox59.com/news/columbus-police-shut-down-massage-parlor-after-serving-warrant-for-alleged-prostitution/ Like the Columbus location, the establishment changed its name after operating under the same name as the Columbus location. Prior reviews online make clear that the business was a front for prostitution as the reviewers described the services in terms that would be generally understood to be "Happy Endings." In addition to prostitution, many of the women seem to participate in activities that border on, or may actually be, elder abuse, fraud (specifically address fraud), and theft. Based on what we've seen in the text messages, we believe some may also be here illegally. Obviously, I cannot say with certainty that crimes are currently being committed - but, that's where an investigation is needed. And, this is a where-there's-smoke-there's-fire situation. I've implored the people who've discovered this to turn it over to assist in an investigation, but it is a sensitive matter for the family. I do hope that this information is taken seriously and that some inquiry can be made to ensure any illegalities are addressed.

Recycling

Weird question? We were out of town and my daughter put both bins out for collection. She came back the next day and recycle bin (yellow top) was missing. None of my neighbors know otherwise. How can I get a new bin? Thanks.
