There will be a report on WDSU tonight regarding the sidewalk. From what I have heard the City is planning on having them remove the entire length of the sidewalk and if they do not the City wil replace it and charge them for the replacement cost.
I assume this means if there is a sidewalk out there that has craters in it or major damage that makes it unsafe you could paint it and the City will replace it..

Give them a P.1 sign for the yard and get the house on the Prospect.1 map. Much better than that orange mess.

[…] I read yesterday about how the City is persecuting some poor woman for painting the sidewalk in front of her house. They want to remove the sidewalk and bill her for it. So today as I was walking my daughter to daycare, I took a picture of a typical sidewalk in our neighborhood: […]

with this and the ‘who gets displaced’ i have just sat here completely speechless and sad. our city is viciously going after women whose hearts are the very city itself. i call ERZULIE DANTOR down on their asses. now.

I am a long term volunteer, we are many - should we take photos of all the broken sidewalks and “crater” filled streets and flood the city with photographs? Now there’s a thought …
I love David’s house.
