Something I'd like to see from the people living in Creekside is a little concern for how our neighborhood looks. When I drive to work I see cans, bottles, cups, wrappers, yard debris, etc strewn on the sidewalks and in the streets. I've been living here since there were only 5 houses and it was cleaner then. If everyone would simply take the effort to get a broom and some gloves and do a little sweeping and a little collecting we'd have a much nicer neighborhood. There are also some things in the streets that ought to be attended to immediately such as broken glass and building materials. The other day I swept up a good deal of broken glass on Colton Creek. I've already spent hundreds on new tires because of the carelessness of builders years ago. I shouldn't have to dodge chunks of someones broken windows while driving. Just take a few minutes and do a quick sweep and do everyone a favor. Your neighbors will appreciate it.

GRAFFITTI

I HAVE OBSERVED SOME GRAFFITTI ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH SIGN ON CLAUDIA CIRCLE, AND IT'S VERY DISTURBING. THESE INSTANCES OF GRAFFITTI HAVE TO BE HAPPENING AT NIGHT OF COURSE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SHERLOCK HOLMES TO KNOW THAT IT'S PROBABLY TEENAGERS AND THAT THEY PROBABLY LIVE IN THE SUBDIVISION AS WELL. PARENTS, I HOPE YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE AT NIGHT, AND I HOPE YOU TAKE THE TIME OUT TO EXPLAIN TO THEM ABOUT RESPECT AND PRIDE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.. I JUST HOPE THIS INCIDENT IS AN ISOLATED ONE. I SURE DON'T WANT THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO START TO TURN INTO A GHETTO.. IT'S JUST A SHAME THAT INDIVIDUALS HAVE TO BEHAVE LIKE THAT, I FEEL SORRY FOR ANY PERSON(S) CAUGHT AT NIGHT,,,.....
