I made a deal with my wife to only walk and pass out handbills for one hour tonight before American Idol (Go Walker Burroughs!) It was a great night to go walking even if I had to walk quickly.
I made it through Cornelia Drive, Maxon Drive and Willow Way. . Here are some of my notes.
One guy had a question about being in the general services district versus the urban services district. He pays for his garbage pick up but he was pleasantly surprised that his street was paved. I was able to tell him that Brent Ackerson had a priority of paving streets.
A another guy told me that he was concerned about the blind spot at Bon Air Avenue and Goldsmith Lane. He told me about someone who had gotten hit last year at that intersection.
I was surprised that I saw three different trash hauler cans on Willow Way. As narrow as that street is I can only imagine the horror if two or more different hauling services were trying to do pick ups.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn from one lady that she is already following the organization.
When I look at the houses, I saw some cool landscaping and some great looking 1950's architecture. Many in Bon Air take very good care of their houses, which adds to the beauty of the neighborhood.
However, it is a mixed bag to me that people choose to have house alarms, but in 2019 we have to do what we have to do. Nevertheless alarms are excellent deterrents and a reason burglaries are as low as they are in the neighborhood--criminals look for the easy targets and an alarmed house is not an easy target. You can get internet/wifi based alarms that are proving to be dependable and affordable.
We will be on Liverpool Lane, Paris, Lane, and Autumn Way soon with the hand bills. We are moving towards the west part of the neighborhood.
Anyway, our next meeting will be May 13, 2019 at 6:30 pm at the Creekside, 3535 Bardstown Road. They are hosting us and will provide dessert and coffee. It does have some historical significance in that it is the original site where Wendell Cherry and David Jones began their healthcare empire,
Hope to see you there.
