Good neighbors
Apparently I have a pretty dicky neighbor. Nothing annoys me more than a few days after a snowstorm than to be walking down the street and encountering an unshoveled sidewalk. As I sort of guessed, people are legally required to shovel their sidewalks. There are several houses around the corner on Fullerton Parkway who never shovel the sidewalk, but this particular house on my block irritates me to no end. Know why? Because the people who live their shovel the walkway leading to their house, but never the actual sidewalk. They've done this for every major snowfall this winter, and I think it's pretty despicable.
I'm surprised my landlord hasn't done anything about it. He's kind of the neighborhood enforcer, or something. The other day, after a snowstorm, somebody had parked in front of the house. In order to get into the space, he shoveled it out and dumped all the snow onto our freshly shoveled sidewalk. Later, I saw a note on the car that said, "If you are going to dig out spaces and dump the snow on shoveled sidewalks, PARK YOUR CAR ELSEWHERE." And it was enclosed in a plastic baggie to make sure it didn't get soaked. Oh, snap!
