I called the mother as the kids would call my husband and I names, pee in bushes, look in my windows. I called her on several occasions, I should have called police. The woman always said that she is a Christian but to me if your actions should tell me not you. I think she was trying to convince herself Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-21996744089423190372017-04-03T19:13:07.227-05:002017-04-03T19:13:07.227-05:00I completely agree that it is a slap in the face t...I completely agree that it is a slap in the face that all this tax money is being spent so unsupervised children can have yet another public venue to ruin. Why doesn't the city council spend money to actually enforce the rules at existing parks? I guess they want to make their friends some money who build the new ones. I stopped going to the pier and any of the public parks because people don't pick up their animals' waste. There isn't any point in complaining about the unsupervised teenagers and children there because parents really don't care. I live on the east side of town and my tax dollars are never spent to improve my area. Taxation without representation is what my neighbors and I are experiencing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-47914981730181896792017-03-31T12:49:20.727-05:002017-03-31T12:49:20.727-05:00 be nice to dog owners because they are the ones p... be nice to dog owners because they are the ones paying the taxes for YOUR kids to have baseball and soccer fields 😡😡😡Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862220451874774534.post-89277144477573930142017-03-26T16:25:05.427-05:002017-03-26T16:25:05.427-05:00It seems to me that fairhope spends too much money...It seems to me that fairhope spends too much money on soccer and baseball fields.

With this level of detail, it has clearly not just popped up in the past couple of months, nor does it appear to be on the Mayor's own immediate agenda.

Don't we need to spend 10-15 million to upgrade the sewer system? Isn't that what the mayor's cronies have stated??? Didn't the mayor state she has inherited a mess???

Doing away with the front field and adding two back fields is really going to help with the parking woes. This place can be a zoo at times and I think this is going to be a great benefit. <br /><br />I really would like to know if a light will ever be constructed at Volanta and 98?

Good luck to the planners/engineers as they implement this<br />long overdue redo to a park that is too small for the scope of the activities<br />impacting. In particular, the saving of the big trees in the parking area<br />is highly problematic unless the root structures are barricaded. No fault<br />to the park users, most if not all of us were active playground partners<br />in the not too distant past, we do think this plan is a positive and we<br />look forward to sharing the space.ralph thayernoreply@blogger.com
