Thread: I want to cry....

  1. #1

    I want to cry....

    All last week I was on a Caribbean cruise, enjoying life. I did miss detecting a little bit though. Today, with no detector in my car, I headed to the other side of town on business. I started seeing block, after block, after block of brand new sidewalk!!!!! How did I not hear about this project? When did the city EVER move this fast on any project? This is in the oldest part of town too. I'm sooo freeking bummed that I missed such a great opportunity.

    Ouch... they did all that in a week?!?

    I tried to detect a torn up sidewalk in the old part of this town but was told to go away within the first two minutes

    Maybe it's a neighborhood improvement project and they'll do the next street over now?
    I spotted a sidewalk project in downtown Santa Ana two years ago, but I didnt have the guts to go to that area at night . I often wonder if anyone did.

    You file a complaint yet, J?
    I think I'd include cruel & abusive treatment. Might get a nice settlement out of it.

    some thing is amiss there as it should have taken yrs for a project like that to be done-ever ask them to fix a pot hole,burnt out street light-ya somethings wrong there-is any prominent citizens missing-remember Hoffa
    knowledge that isn't passed on is wasted
