  1. Hmmmm. Anybody check to see who is doing renovations? .Probably someone without a building permit and who thinks the city should pick up his construction material so he does not have to pay to take it to the dump. I saw those construction bags out at 4PM and thought someone was going to do the right thing and take them away. Silly me! What was I thinking?????
