We received a notice from the Mayor's office this week.  Basically over the next 2 weeks they are going to be going through our neighborhood and ticketing anyone who they deem in providing blight to the neighborhood. 

This is actually a great thing.  With all of the foreclosures in this area we have a ton of vacant houses that are in desperate need of a good lawn mowing.  They will be ticketing those who have overgrown grass and weeds, excess garbage, junk cars, and rodent problems.  This is all wonderful news to me. 

The only thing we are even slightly concerned about was one itty bitty line in the notice that said all recreation vehicles must be on a Portland Cement pad in the back of your yard and five feet from any property line. We have a very small fishing boat that we keep in the driveway.  If we have to move it into the yard in will need to go smack dap in the middle of the yard to fall within the parameters that they've set. 

I am really hoping that our boat doesn't fall into the recreational vehicles categoriy.  But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
