No kidding. What really kills me over here by Lake Harriet is that the folks with the million dollar homes either can't seem to afford a snow shoveling service or won't do their own. Both 42nd and the parkway between 42nd and 43rd are an ice skating rink in places. The two most traveled blocks for older folks walking down to the lake. Try e-mailing the council member. They can send a letter from their office or get to inspections quicker.

Unshoveled--and how! It's a corner lot and I don't think they'd touched it all winter. The ice was easily 3 inches thick. Anyway, I went to the city's website snow- information page, where one can get a number to report such unfriendly neighbors and (hopefully) get the problem fixed. Upon dialing the number, a voicemail message told me the mailbox was full; on pressing the directed # sign, another voice suggested I try again some other time. So I'm thinking, ok, should I call back, say, in July? Anyway, I know the city's budget is short, I'm a librarian for God's sake. And I know I could just contact this neighbor directly. But if the city has a process in place to take care of such a situation, shouldn't a citizen and taxpayer be able to use it? Jeff Radford Kingfield __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
