[StBernard] the French Quarter

[Westley Annis]

Mudpie,

You should have been here a while back.  I don't remember exactly how far
back it was, but we used to have fights over where they would place garbage
cans on the streets for people to toss their trash.

Like I said, I can't remember if it was before or after the switch to the
Home Rule charter, but it was a laugh to see the government leaders fighting
over who could get the most trash cans on the highway in their district.  Of
course, one there they were never emptied, but that is a totally different
subject.

When I first moved to Louisiana I was apalled at the overflowing garbage and
lack of public garbage cans; I hate to say it but its the messiest state
I've ever seen, excluding New York city when they had a garbage strike. I
could never understand why of all places, where it is so hot, this is such a
problem, esthetics aside, it is a health hazard. Unfortunately, the lower
the per capita income, the lower the taxes and quality of services;
therefore, it is up to us to clean up our own back yard and report those who
do not. Mudpie
