Unfortunately, the ones that require multiple visits from the cops remain. But still...it is a start...and Stella and I sat on the front steps last night watching them clear out.
And today, I met some new neighbors down the street. A family with three young children - didn't meet the wife (she was at work), but apparently both husband and wife work at the science center...she designs the curriculum and he designs the exhibits. Very cool.
Re: Some of the trash across the street vacated yesterday!
DH actually saw the owner of the duplexes at a bar last night. He was going to talk to him about the places, but said he (the owner) was just smashed. He's had a string of craptacular tenants since the ones we liked moved out a few years ago (3 years, I think).
