You are absolutely right Mr. Ferret! Make these damn prisoners work!

: Not sure how much the cleanup would cost, but

: No one wants to spend the money.

: This is the kind of job where chain gangs

: I don't know where Bogg's market is, but it
: sounds much the same as the one on
: Pottsville Street.
:
: But, really, how much would a clean up cost?
:
: All you need is a loader, a tri-axle and
: dumping fees.
:
: Shame on Cressona. That place looks
: terrible. If I were a home owner adjacent to
: or in the vicinity of that property, I
: wouldn't pay my taxes until a clean up was
: done. Or, God forbid I were walking down
: the street passed that place and got hurt
: from a piece of debris....if Cressona thinks
: it has budget troubles now, it would be in
: for a whole world of hurt if I sued.
:
: Hmmmm.......

: It was "George's Place" and it
: burned. They knocked it down because of
: safety reasons. The lady that owned it had
: no insurance and the property was in
: foreclosure. Now Cressona is stuck with the
: tab of cleaning it up. But they have no
: money in the budget to do it. And since it's
: not precious Pottsville, the county wants no
: part of the cleanup bill either.
:
: I can't believe nothing has been done, but
: thats the way the system works, I guess.
: Look at the house across from the former
: Bogg's Market in Cressona, that burned years
: ago, and is still a boarded up shell.

: If you have driven on Pottsville Street in
: Cressona (the road that leads to 61 from
: Gordon Nagle Trail), I'm sure you have seen
: that eyesore of a garbage heap?
:
: It believe its the remnants of the building
: that housed "George's" or
: "Bum's Place" or something like
: that---the guy always had junk for sale,
: thousands of ice skates, flower pots, etc.
:
: Anyway, I don't know if the placed burnt
: down or got demo'd, but I saw that heap 6
: mos. ago when driving through and 6mos
: later it is still there! Man, what a
: disgrace. If I were a neighbor, you can bet
: your ass I'd be at the next town meeting
: demanding that the owners clean that up. It
: is not only an eyesore, but a safety hazard,
: too.
:
: What's wrong with these people? Just to
: leave it a mess like that? What's wrong with
: neighbors for not taking action? Do you
: like having a sh*tpile outside your door
: every day??? Even an animal will not dirty
: its own nest, so to speak.
:
: Thoughts? Opinions? Feedback?
