Dear neighbors,
The abandoned tire that had been lying among the weeds at the Hancock entrance to 202 for several months was finally removed after repeated requests, but unfortunately a large dirty drinking cup was left behind.  What an embarrassing main entrance we have to show. It also seems that even the 202 by-pass near the entrance to Target/Giant shopping center has been given nice landscaping. Please see below for the latest update to officials.
Best wishes,
Gwen Douse
