That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. I also feel like I'm between the keystone ticket cop and a lot of evasive gibberish.
My last ticket had a stamp with nonsense that you must put out trash at least a day early. Before that, the tickets simply indicated that I'm guilty of some unknown violation from 4-5 months earlier. It sounds funny but I don't feel particularly clean or safe anymore! ----- Original Message ----- From: Martha Ledger To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2008 11:01 AM Subject: Re: [UC] Illegal trash update Hi, My trash wasn't picked up yesterday, either. There was a lot of garbage still in cans and also strewn on the street after the normal pick-up time, and I thought maybe the truck was going to make a second pass. I finally took the can off the street after 11 last night. I called "Streets" this morning. The woman I spoke to seemed inclined to arrange for a pick-up until I mentioned that I'd get the can back out on the street. When she heard that I had moved it, she said, "in that case, you'll have to wait until next week." I explained that I had taken it off the street overnight to avoid getting a ticket. Didn't matter, she said. I asked to speak to her supervisor who, in a conference call with the woman with inexplicable rules and a man with the authority to send trucks out, arranged for a pick-up. The phone number for Streets is 215-686-5560. It's an option if they missed your house, too.

There were empty Recycling Receptacles across the street, but mine were not collected. Well, better luck in two weeks.

Today is the trash day on the holiday schedule. The corporate hotel developers really showed the people of Woodland Terrace. After the residents read the UC Review yesterday morning and saw that their concerns about the massive amounts of additional trash at the new hotel were unfounded and unfair, they could walk to the corner of their block and look across Baltimore Ave at the illegal corporate trash right in their faces. Man, everyone knows that the fat cat corporate real estate developers can promise anything they please even in the face of overwhelming evidence that they could care less. The contempt and irony are hilarious. Ha, ha, ha. Oh man, we get valet parking too! Ha, ha, ha… You're way too kind, Tommy. We need one of Tony’s lectures about winners and losers in a "representative democracy." The people of Woodland Terrace are considered losers like me, and the people of West Philly! Ha, ha, ha.
