I'm writing in regards to the nasty spot on West Genesee Street in front of Ricky's which is now out of business.

Can you please put this in the paper as I called code enforcement and they have been trying for quite some time to contact the owner about this, but they have had no response.

I noticed this when I was walking my children to school on their first day.

Broken glass, whiskey bottles, garbage like you wouldn't believe, weeds three feet high lining the sidewalk.

Doesn't Auburn have people that go around and clean up streets even though it isn't their property and charge the owner?

My other idea is to organize a bunch of people and go clean it ourselves, but what message does that send to others.

Please, maybe if the owner sees this and cares enough, he or she will go do something about this mess.
