Quiet Summer Days? Sort of...

Finally I get a chance to update this blog. To be honest things have been "quiet" in this 800 block of Mellon. I do not know what that means but for now we'll take it. A couple of things to pass on---no word yet on the renovation status of the apartment complex on the corner of Jackson and Mellon. This four story building has been sitting empty for some time. East Liberty Development supposely owns the building and we were told the renovation was to start in early spring 2007. The building is often a target of vandals---windows are broken along the first floor, paintball splatters the brick and trash is everywhere.

Speaking of trash--- the trash cans in front of the apartment at 830 Mellon Street are back out front! You would think with a waste cans so close people would put their litter there but they don't.

Check out this website:Land or Slum it is a new website created locally to rate landlords. Lobos is not a favorite and got very bad reviews. Somehow I am not surprised. See for yourself.
