Sep. 19, 2007 - Update on Yard Art

Well, here we go again! Our community paper WEST Newsmagazine had an article about Lewis Greenberg and his "Yard Art". Residents in the subdivision where Mr. Greenberg lives has filed complaints regarding "littering". The fuss is all about the quantity of twisted metal, decorated tree branches, rocks and what-nots strewn about the front/back/side yards/trees/porch. When I last spoke to him, he'd said he had lots more inside too. 

Only 9% of the residents didn't sign the petition demanding the artist remove the debris/art. Part of the problem is simply this; when a neighbor want to sell a home, most buyers do not look favorably on this property, which to my mind, looks cluttered. In addition, I would not like having lights turned on the property from dusk to dawn, lighting up the street!  I have to say this though, he does keep the grass cut. It makes you want to say...please, just try to be a good neighbor. This would not have been a problem, in my opinion, if the subdivision indentures had covered it in the first place.

This of course is not a finished story and I'll update you if any thing changes. But for now, Mr. Greenberg has been cited for littering.
