Now Playing at the Varsity Theater
As of yesterday, the trash accumulation has grown since this photo was posted a few days ago. Kerasotes Theater should clean it, or the City should send a crew and bill them, or Kerasotes should pay Mark Robinson (the block captain) to clean it. It looks bad (click on the pic), almost like people have been camping overnight there!

Nothing like blaming the victim.
Someone else is throwing trash all over their property, they should be billed. Lets riducle them for because others are treating their property badly.
That seems logical if you don't think at all.
Hey that rape victim is lying on the ground, she should be ticketed for staying in one place on the strip too long. Is that how your logic works?
Uh, that doesn't make sense, Anonymous. . . . Kerasotes Theaters can hardly be compared to a rape victim.
It does make sense.
Follow this carefully.
One has something illegally done to it. And you want to punish it.
A rape victim has something illegally done to them... so would you want to punish them?
No, just admit it you have some other bug burrowing somewhere against Kerasotes.
It does NOT make sense, Anon -- at least in terms of this situation . . . Follow this carefully as I reply to your points:
1. One has something illegally done to it. And you want to punish it.
--> I just got off the phone with Karen Anderson of Neighborhood Services who described the process of getting it cleaned up -- one that pretty much followed the formula first suggested in this blog, i.e. either Kerasotes clean it up or someone else do it and Kerasotes be billed.
In fact, two crimes were committed -- However, they were not committed against the Varsity Theater building, per se, but against society; namely loitering and littering. (Odd that they should be alliterative.)
--> I don't want to punish the building or Kerasotes . . . but get the trash cleaned up.
2. A rape victim has something illegally done to them... so would you want to punish them?
--> Where are you getting the "punish" term from? It's just a question of who cleans up. A rape victim must clean up afterward and would not want the perpetrator to do it.
3. No, just admit it you have some other bug burrowing somewhere against Kerasotes.
--> I have nothing against Kerasotes! (but I think you may have some other bug burrowing somewhere against me!)
Karen said she'd take a look today and let me know. I think the best idea is to have Kerasotes send one of their employees over there at least once a week to pick up. Or pay someone else to do it.
The process described by her involved sending a letter and giving them 5-7 days to pick it up. After that, there are other legal processes involved. But it makes more sense to just give the manager of the local theaters a phone call and ask him to send someone by with a garbage bag.
By now, it may be done.
Avoidance.
I have a problem with your lack of logic, it thay is personal so be it.
You are still applying a double standard.
Who is being held accountable. You hold Kerasotes responsible by billing them.
Why don't we bill the town for not ticketing the polluters? Why don't we catch people sleeping there and arrest them?
Maybe law enforcement should apologize for not doing there job?
We should feel sorry for Kerasotes and offer to help them clean up. We should not be so busy running around trying to bill them for problems they in no way created.
I don't know you, I agree with some of your opinions and disagree with others. Take the critcism and the complement, you put your opionions out there. It is not personal. I just want you to open your mind and quit have that "it is corporate so it must be bad" mentality.
You remind me of an ex-girlfriend, Anon . . . For the record this blog is not of the "if it's corporate it must be bad" persuasion (Some of its best friends are corporeal). This blog is against trash on public thoroughfares, and unfortunately the private property owners must often pick-up after the littering hordes. It's a problem for most businesses on "the strip," punished almost nightly by drunken revellers whose trash must be cleaned up the following day . . . or so I hear . . . and see. See? Anti-trash, not anti-corporate.
I am sure all your girlfriends would be of the ex variety.
Wrong again, Anonymous! ;-)
