Trashing Sheffield Part I

 

Part one in a series by J. Redmon:

The first photo in this series is of a home in a nice, quiet, (formerly) neat, middle-class neighborhood (17th Ave and 33rd St). The house had been vacant for several years. It took less than two months for the current residents to thoroughly trash it. Sheffield has zoning ordinances against such. Why aren't they being enforced?

Our take? Despite what our reader from out of state thinks, many who live in Sheffield do care about appearances. Perhaps we should play a game like finding hidden objects...

1. Either clothes are drying in the front of the property or no one took them in after a yard sale.

2. At least two games have been set up and left in the front yard.

3. Garbage, bags of it, left outside the bin for stray animals to break in to.

4. An inoperable vehicle sits idly in the front garden, just rusting away.

If Steve Stanley needs something to do, he should clean up Sheffield.
