watchful eyes need to come forward 

If you look in the right place - big brother is watching.

This apparently is some late night activity.   Sort of reminds me of the most abused little sign in Tremont   The one that was in front of the Tree House -  it was hacksawed off, what, three times.   I don't think they ever caught that culprit either - maybe now would be a good to suggest that it be pulled from the cold files.

Please remember to make a police report of the vandalism....some people don't respect  other peoples' property...it's so sad how people work so hard all their life...and others come and tear it down...or take it away,  to satisfy their own selfish "Wants" to fulfill their own selfish "Needs". 

engaging in a pattern of ongoing willful and malicious conduct = more severe civil punishment and:

Criminal damaging:property damage n. injury to real or personal property through another's negligence, willful destruction, or by some act of nature.

I did not notice any "No Trespassing" signs, but if there were signs and they trespassed:

2911.21 Criminal trespass.

(A) No person, without privilege to do so, shall do any of the following:

(1) Knowingly enter or remain on the land or premises of another;

(2) Knowingly enter or remain on the land or premises of another, the use of which is lawfully restricted to certain persons, purposes, modes, or hours, when the offender knows the offender is in violation of any such restriction or is reckless in that regard;

(3) Recklessly enter or remain on the land or premises of another, as to which notice against unauthorized access or presence is given by actual communication to the offender, or in a manner prescribed by law, or by posting in a manner reasonably calculated to come to the attention of potential intruders, or by fencing or other enclosure manifestly designed to restrict access;

(4) Being on the land or premises of another, negligently fail or refuse to leave upon being notified by signage posted in a conspicuous place or otherwise being notified to do so by the owner or occupant, or the agent or servant of either.

(B) It is no defense to a charge under this section that the land or premises involved was owned, controlled, or in custody of a public agency.

(C) It is no defense to a charge under this section that the offender was authorized to enter or remain on the land or premises involved, when such authorization was secured by deception.

(D)(1) Whoever violates this section is guilty of criminal trespass, a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.

It is time to plant in these lots to make people aware that this is space that is independent of the Treehouse. I have plants to donate if people are willing to dig, and they can always be moved later when the family puts in the more formal plans and gardens. We can also do a kids flower gardens in the front area as children love to grow pretty flowers, such as sunflowers.  

We are better off with a piece of paradise rather than paving over for a parking lot. 

tremontsoul mentioned something to me yesterday about a "secret garden" and the "Gernaga Sculpture  Garden." 

I've been researching some of the native flowers/plants that were used in the gardens around the turn of the 1900s - that were used in the gardens of the mansions and millionaire's row.

For whatever reason, I'm not sure, TWDC does not seem to be in tune with making this a garden.  With everybody wanting this to be a pedestrian friendly neighborhood, what better way to utiliza a vacant lot than something everyone can enjoy.   

We've also been discussing this project among the members of the OSS and several of them (long-time friends of tremontsoul's mother) are willing to volunteer their time and donate plants and flowers as well. 

I think we can come up with a plan that would beautify the area on a temporary basis until the property owners decide on more permanent plans. 

Of all the complaining about negativity - since tremontsoul and his family came up with this idea, they have met nothing but resistance.

Hopefully, TWDC and the Councilman will come on board - this would be a super project for a Neighborhood Connections Beautification grant.  Even some ornamental fencing would really look good.
