Oh God. I really do live in suburbia. We opened up our mailbox today to find the following letter:



Dear Neighbors,

On numerous occasions over the last few years, friends and neighbors have commented about the overall appearance of our neighborhood. Sadly, most commented the overall appearance or (sic) our neighborhood has chanced from a well-manicured appearance to something less.

The purpose of this letter is to ask each of our neighbors to review the appearance of your property and do what you can to help keep up the overall appearance of our neighborhood. It's well known that appearance improves the value of our property and improves our overall outlook about the neighborhood.

In the real estate business, one of the key factors in home pricing is something referred to as "curb appeal." this means the better your home looks from the curb, the higher your home value. In addition, your home's value increases based on your neighbors' home curb appeal, and that of the entire neighborhood.

Aside from the financial value of your home, there is great value in living in a neighborhood that looks well kept -- a neighborhood you can be proud to say you live in! A well kept neighborhood is inviting to all that drive through and to us that live here!

Please do your part to keep our neighborhood looking great!

Thanks!

Your Friends & Neighbors



So, aside from the word rep and overuse of exclamation points and the general tone of condescension...really? You want to leave that note anonymously? We're not the only ones who got it, but...come on, that's just asking for drama. And strife.

...And it's about lawn care.

at least you don't live in our neighborhood where 3 different people reported us to the borough, (which you can somehow do successfully,) for our terrible lawn care. We've also caught our neighbors actually sneaking onto our hill and gardening.

They haven't seen my yard! :P My Dad has tires piled all over the back yard.. He was going to turn them into a fence but hasn't yet. Then we have bricks scattered all over the front yard he's dumped for "Special projects" use.. That's not including the old cars, the patchy grass, and the box of christmas lights sitting next to the drive way... I swear I'll take pics one of these days. If Dad had gotten that letter he would have gone to all of his friends and gotten junk he could have dumped everywhere... he's just that way... heh..

your neighbors amuse me...

Sounds like the old lady a few houses down, only to her it is Large Black Dogs: The Hidden Menace. She is convinced that my sister's dog is going to jump the fence and attack her. She complains about everyone and everything, but the dog is first on her list of complaints.
