Get out there and do something about the dumpster problem. As for the bodega, I have no animus against it, its owners or its patrons. But you cannot ignore facts on that particular corner: shootings in broad daylight and loitering. That's a fact, and if you don't want to deal with that, fine, I'll find someone else to vote for in the next election.Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476845411516796463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-70982212463306784102012-03-06T16:08:11.981-05:002012-03-06T16:08:11.981-05:00Perhaps the view across the street from 203 Warren...Perhaps the view across the street from 203 Warren Street will look better once Galloway decides to finish the building that has had windows boarded up for how long? I see a 'cleaning' crew starting to do something. @Observer The bodega at the corner is not the issue. The owners are absolutely friendly and as other business owners on Warren Street do; contribute to the tax base.Larissa Parkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387179443543067111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-12847443047727451482012-03-06T14:31:36.117-05:002012-03-06T14:31:36.117-05:00You may have a point, Marty.

I don't think locking them will solve the problem. People will just dump their trash next to the locked dumpster the way people drive down the roads and dump their garbage, beer cans, coffee cups, whatever, on people's lawns & property.Marty Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534341827946358526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-13814098230087856762012-03-06T09:33:06.843-05:002012-03-06T09:33:06.843-05:00I've noticed that many dumpsters in the City a...I've noticed that many dumpsters in the City are locked -- presumably by their owners.
