Rupert says, “Shoot with a Camera–Fight with a Pen—Tow with Greenwood”.

This page will be hand dropped in every mail slot on the block–it concerns the Block. It is also sent out by e-mail and posted on the WEB.

The Unit South Durham, Inc. is in the final stages of the purchase of 7 South Durham Street–the park and parking—SLOWLY BUT SURELY–we’ve been told–The “PACKAGE” is in the hands of the City Comptroller.

It is the responsibility of individual residents to keep the area in front and back of their residence clear of debris. The heavy rain washes into the sewer system that runs into the harbor and Bay. Don’t expect anyone else to pull your weeds or sweep up your leaves OR PURCHASE your Roundup. I assure you enough money and time is spent spraying between the bricks in the park that I’m just not that good of a neighbor to do it for you. Individual dues are still being held onto for the purchase of the park and insurance. Personal out of pocket money is used for the upkeep of the park for now.

It is suggested that USD purchase signs for people to pick up after their dogs since there has been quite a change recently from no dog waste left to mucho crap. The condoms are still plentiful also but a sign will probably not change that a bit. I have a sign catalogue from Greenwood.

When SECO owned Saint Michael’s Boys they were asked on several occasions to place a motion detector light at the center back steps where there is a hidden corner. The answer was always, “That’s a good idea.” And nothing was ever done. Perhaps the new neighbors would agree to the light since they are expecting to sell their condos in a safe clean environment.
It is summer and there have been several occasions where loungers have been asked to move along and they usually do. There is no need to bother the police unless the situation seems unmanageable. It is the responsibility of the BLOCK to maintain its own security as per the agreement with the
CITY OF BALTIMORE.

Remember the only reason the Parking remains for the Unit Block South Durham is the care and preservation of the Pocket Park and Green Space. Please do your part to keep it safe, secure, clean and green and an open space for the surrounding neighborhood.

The first draft of Hey Diddle Diddle was written in 1996/1997.  At that time I used fake names for everyone, hence in the rewrite a bit of confusion ensued.  Though many names are still other names and a few “alter egos”, many corrections are being made for the final manuscript with the help of notes and publications that were given to us for reference, but this is still a novelfor what it’s worth.
