For Shame!

Assorted untagged vehicles, debris, refuse and junk in yards.

This was seen in the membership area of the Aspen hill Civic Association, Inc., on March 8, 2007.

Below, Heathfield Road, eastern end. Fleet vehicle usually parked at home. At night there are often three or four parked there.

Below, Heathfield Road, near Georgia Avenue. Nice paved yard, with crashed vehicle parked on the street at fire hydrant.

p3080005.jpg

Below, Chesterfield Road between Parkland Drive and Canterbury Lane, with a nice paved front yard, washing machine in driveway, etc.

p3080006.jpg

Below, Chesterfield Road between Parkland Drive and Canterbury Lane, this car has been parked on that spot on the county strip since late 2006.

The following series are mostly from the vicinity of Hallet Street/Place, Parkland Drive around Faroe, Turkey Branch in the same vicinity, etc.

Below, can't say where exactly, an out-of-town Porsche is parked a bit into the street, and behind it are about five untagged vehicles in the driveway.

Below, wasn't this house condemned by the fire department after a fire was started by one of the several families illegally living in the basement? Why, yes, something like that.

p3080019.jpg

Below, now that's a lot of crap out on the county strip. Zoom in by clicking.

p3080020.jpg

Below... absolutely craptastic. Possibly the ugliest yard in the neighborhood.

p3080021.jpg

Below, lots of uncollected firewood there. Interestingly, that half-cut tree doesn't appear to have been "orange-spotted" by the County for a legal removal.

p3080022.jpg

Below, a house without a roof, with the walls leaning outwards. This place needs to be razed. South of Wheaton Woods Elementary on Parkland Drive.

p3080023.jpg

Below, is that a washing machine, or a kitchen cooking range, on that porch?

p3080024.jpg

Below, "Hades Hal". Gang tagging has erupted all over Aspen Hill in the last 6 months.

p3080025.jpg

Below, extreme erotion of the county strip due to incessant parking and drive-over. Just south of WW elementary school on Parkland.

p3080026.jpg

Below, a fine example of someone driving into their yard too much. Parkland Drive northbound, across from WW elementary school. Way to set an example for the schoolkids, Bud.

p3080027.jpg

p3080028.jpg

Below, a smallish dumptruck is parked half on the county strip. Seems he's been taking shortcuts across the median strip to get there.

p3080029.jpg

p3080030.jpg

Lots of construction vehicles are parked, some of them evidently for a long long time, on Landgreen between Parkland and Frankfurt.

p3080031.jpg

p3080032.jpg

More untagged vehicles, random locations.

p3080033.jpg

p3080034.jpg

The shell of a house on Barkwood. Weren't these the people who were reported fornicating in their backyard before they got their electricity cut off and burned the house down by lighting it with candles?

p3080035.jpg

p3080036.jpg

p3080037.jpg

p3080038.jpg

Below, Arctic Avenue between Frankfurt and Renn. Nice truck. No nice tags.

p3080039.jpg

p3080040.jpg

Below, Arctic Avenue again. Taxi in yard.

p3080041.jpg

13106 (we think) Arctic Avenue. Two commercial fleet trucks in driveway, one attached to a trailer of yard-care equipment. The man inside didn't like me taking this picture. He came out brandishing his cellphone. I'm not sure if he was trying to take my picture or make a call. But I must ask, to whom do you send a picture of someone filming a code violation? Or for that matter, whom do you call for such a thing? To whom do you report citizens collecting information on violations of law? Criminal network for reporting law-abiding citizens? Worrisome.

p3080042.jpg

p3080043.jpg

More untagged vehicles. All along Magellan, Wissahican, etc.

p3080044.jpg

p3080045.jpg

p3080046.jpg

p3080047.jpg

p3080048.jpg

p3080049.jpg

Now that's a lot of construction crap stacked along the wall of that house. And below, see also the cute trailer parked half on the country strip, itself full of crap.

p3080050.jpg

p3080051.jpg

p3080052.jpg

I think this is all along Weiss.

p3080053.jpg

p3080054.jpg

p3080055.jpg

p3080056.jpg

p3080057.jpg

Now this is pathetic. This is behind the Kensington FD station at Parkland and Veirs Mill. Look at the large images, this appears to be hovels in the middle of the "community garden". People appear to be living in them. Bum shacks? If so, this is an outrage.

p3080058.jpg

p3080059.jpg

More "stuff" below, along Caldwell, if memory serves.

p3080060.jpg

p3080061.jpg

p3080062.jpg

Below, Keating between Grenoble and Aspen Hill Road. Craptastic!

p3080063.jpg

Below, two from Vandalia. Um, the local street, not the 5th-century kingdom of the Vandals in territory formerly belonging to Carthage. Then again, civilization does seem to be deteriorating hereabouts, hence the confusion.

p3080064.jpg

p3080065.jpg

Below, two untagged vehicles. I'm not sure if they belong to 4308 Independence or 4305 Elizabeth.

p3080066.jpg

p3080067.jpg

Below, the last two are from 4411 Jupiter Street. Egads, what a mess. Lots of untagged vehicles in eroded ruts in the yard, wrecked vehicles in the street out front, etc. Disgraceful.
