Urban Camping
I have been alerted to some urban campers in John Howell Park – all city parks are closed from 11 p.m. til 6 a.m. – and sightings of such overnight campers should be reported to 911. Now that the weather is warmer keep a watch before this becomes a rampant problem in this park as…
BeltLine Cleanups
Thanx to all of the folks who volunteered to help with the Earth Day BeltLine cleanups in our area – the 4th Ward Park area, here in VaHi and in the Ansley Mall area. This entire area is now walkable (with some caution), but is not a no-man’s land anymore. As you walk this area…

Beth Marks, this group’s dedicated coordinator, has announced that we STILL do not have enough folks committed to extend this effective off-duty patrol service to the southern part of VaHi -basically south of Highland View and Rosedale Drive down to PDL Avenue. She also would like a volunteer to step forward to help her with…
The AJC Reach Saga Continues
VaHi resident David Eckoff has stepped forward to really mount an offensive against the plastic-wrapped Reach advertising packets that are being thrown willy nilly all over the city – creating mounds of litter to be picked up by citizens who give a damn about how their neighborhoods look. I also view this delivery method as…
