for years the people who lived there were left to roam the neighborhood. they looked uncared for and hungry. they would beg for money and sleep on steps on the ridge. no one cared for them. it's a shame. the owner should have taken care of those people instead of having plastic surgery. she also ran around roxborough to do her business in a fur coat. hopefully the people who lived there are in a better place.

This just goes to show that when people care - and they act - eventually things fall into place.

Kudos to everyone who made complaints, etc., about the rent situation and followed up with the City. I've also heard tales (pug, can you confirm?) that the "clean up" of the front, including mowing the grass, had something to do with complaints made to L&I. If so, I vote that people keep calling.

It's very clear to me that a boarded up home with an overgrown lawn would not be welcome in Ms. Lavin's neighborhood in Villanova, and she needs to understand that it is certainly not welcome in my neighborhood.

Most of the security staff at my workplace are retired cops and they tell me they've been upset by that place for many years and shared some horror stories about calls they went on related to it "back in the day." I can't believe that place was like that for SO long. I'm glad action was finally taken.
