Ragusas

Hey guys, glad to report that Me-Moes Lawn & Landscaping is working today on installing some beautiful drought-tolerant plantings @ Ragusas in those dirt-filled dead planters! They're putting beautiful bald cypress, blue rug juniper, and variegated yucca. For a pop of color, they've got turquoise colored steel edging too. not sure when it'll be complete but this will go a long way to dressing up that intersection!

Neighborhood Get Together! Monday, 4/12

Justin Lemoine is organizing a neighborhood planning meeting so that we can get our association officially formed. Here are the details he wrote:

I'm pulling together the map for us to markup and decide the official boundaries of the NH Association. Let's get together Monday night (04.12.10) at about 7pm at our house to start preparing for the first official neighborhood meeting. Bring something to write with and on and come prepared with ideas of a location for a meeting, who we could get to provide refreshments, and what format we would like for the meeting to take. I think it should be slightly interactive so as to engage as many of the neighborhood residents as possible. Call me if you have any questions.

625 Arlington Ave

As many of you are aware, there have been some strange goings-ons over at 625 Arlington Ave. Jaimie Coleman was hired by Nora McConnell to clean up the house to get it ready for sale. I spoke to Ms. McConnell today (her # is 225-229-2194)and she once again assures us that Mr. Coleman is almost done with his work. Today he was smoking something while sunbathing (shirtless) in the front yard (he sure seems hard at work). Ms. McConnell insists that he is working to get the glue off of the floors. She is apparently not interested in having them refinished properly. The property will be listed by a friend of hers and will be on the market for $174,900. Mr. Coleman has been talking to several neighbors and states that he intends to buy the property. As a "self-medicated" bi-polar ex-con, Mr. Coleman's stories reflect his ever changing state of mind. He told a couple of people he wants to turn the property into a halfway house and his latest story is that he wants to turn it into a yoga center. Fortunately, the house is zoned A2 so neither one of these options should fly.
