I am what my sister calls middle-aged, and I disagree, :), but I am the youngest in my building and worry the 80+ year olds in my building would need emergency care and want them to get the help. <BR/><BR/>I would like to think that people would do things to help my 80+ parents and they do. <BR/><BR/>You just do stuff to help other people but you only do if it helps yourself. It is selfish. It is sad that this is the way the world is going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-5443472380620254932007-03-09T19:39:00.000-05:002007-03-09T19:39:00.000-05:00Wilson! Why can't you pay some of the neighbor kids to shovel your walk for you? They need to work and it will give them the chance to get some money by EARNING it!garyjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141621101828080762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-27957488766994866262007-03-09T18:10:00.000-05:002007-03-09T18:10:00.000-05:00A very nice couple owns the property. On this matter and other neighborhood concerns with their property, they have been less than cooperative. Michigan Street is a very busy one-way street. Traffic flows in all 3 lanes at a pretty good speed so it is not safe to walk in the street.Gary R.

I admit: I don't shovel my own sidewalk - none of my neighbors do. I shovel from my porch to the street. We walk in the street after monster snows - it's a quiet side street with little traffic.<BR/><BR/>The picture AI shows is an absolute worst-case example. It's on Michigan St, a busy street that snow plows heaped that pile of snow directly onto the sidewalk. That's not a normal accumulation of unshoveled snow: that's plowed snow off of Michigan Street! The close houses sheltered the sidewalk from the sun's melting warmth. Michigan St. is way too busy to safely walk in.Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-70290349163764233422007-03-09T16:35:00.000-05:002007-03-09T16:35:00.000-05:00Geez, AI.
