TGR: Missed Trash Day Yields Code Enforcement
(BALTIMORE - November 12, 2009) - Well, let's just lay out the facts folks: Many Baltimoreans must have forgotten that yesterday was a holiday. Why? Because so many put their trash out for the regularly scheduled pick-up.
In communities throughout Baltimore, Baltimore City's Code Enforcement found reason to stick tags on these heaps of trash that are truly an eye-sore. Further, a lot of bulk trash is also being targeted.
Earlier this week, residents of West Lafayette Avenue told me that they truly miss the 2-day a week pick-up that was in place for years. They explained how now - they only hope the trash truck will come through their West Baltimore neighborhood. I got the impression that they had not seen a trash truck in a long time. When I asked what they do now, they did not reply.
Some might argue that if the 2-day per week pick-up were still in place, things would be easier on residents and businesses alike.
Lately, I have heard several complaints of "the City" going through people's trash looking for anything with an address. Why? So they can send a citation, of course. That's right: Another reason to "pick-up" and move out of the city!
In short, Baltimore has a trash problem that is only getting worse. I don't know who actually gets the blame, but something needs to be done ... today.
Here's to a cleaner, greener city!

TGR: Guest Editorial: Fred's Army ... on the Eastern Shore of Maryland:
"...Two years of stalling tactics by the County Council prevented completion of the statue by Fred’s Army. Currently, Talbot County and Easton elected officials have placed obstacles in the pathway of Fred’s Army that are undoubtedly based on the racist attitudes of its members,” said Jackson-Amis. Council tactics have refused to allow the African American Archeologists, Dr. Anna Agbe-Davies and Alexandra Jones access to the courthouse grounds to complete a required survey. Constantly, the Council changed the design requirements for the statue and after Fred’s Army had fully complied with the changes directed by Council, it then refused to give permission for the installation of the statue.
