Hi Glenn,
Thanks for setting up the meeting the other night. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the city takes us seriously and that a further meeting to look more directly at the park-related problems can be arranged. You might pass along this anecdote about the dumpster to whoever you think appropriate.
This afternoon (Sunday), I heard a lot of banging outside, so I cracked the blinds in my study and saw that the illegal use of the dumpster is becoming more brazen and upscale. A guy with a sort of open-topped U-Haul attached to his Lexus was unloading a very large heap of left-over wood and other debris. He was also very nervous and on the lookout, because he flinched when he saw the blinds move. He flinched even more when I went to my bedroom with binoculars, put the blinds wide open, and started looking for his license plate. He flung the last heap of stuff in the dumpster, ducked for his Lexus, and peeled out in a hurry, whipping his U-Haul along.
I called the police (838-4444) to complain and report his license (8583CX). The officer on duty ran the plate while we talked. He said it belonged to someone in the city of Alexandria, so he also said the parks people would be in touch with the guy. (That remains to be seen.)
The story might be useful for underscoring how brazen it's become when a jerk feels free to show up in a high-end Lexus with a U-Haul to add his trash 75 feet from my back door. All I can say is damn such people anyway. It's a disgusting situation. Thanks for your great efforts. Keep me posted on what's happening.
Regards,
Dennis
