Your Neighbors Could be Worse…
Your Neighbors Could be Worse…? Check out this story from the Baltimore Sun.? This sounds like a situation that can be solved by a few local teenagers willing to work in the middle of the night (not that we condone that type of thing).? This is in Howard County not Baltimore, but I think many Baltimore residents can relate.

Neighbors angry over woman’s choice in yard decorationsJuly 12, 2008
On a quiet, wooded street of well-kept homes, Erin Alban’s front yard is a sight to behold – but for all the wrong reasons, her Howard County neighbors said.
Stuffed animals and signs, some with religious slogans, cover virtually the entire yard, the house and the carport. Used-car-lot-style pennants run between trees.
Plastic reindeer. Smiley faces painted on the driveway. Lampshades tied to bushes. And, protruding from what had been the mailbox support, a bent plastic middle finger. Draped above it is a foot-long belt of rusted bullet shells.
“It is awful. That’s what it is,” said Jo Ann Norris, Alban’s next-door neighbor at the dead-end of Taylor Park Road in Sykesville. “I honestly think she goes Dumpster collecting every day.”
