My Little 311 Triumphs

It's very satisfying to call 311 and then, a few weeks later, to see tangible results...

Below is 811 4th St. SE, with its cool "Marcy-Holmes" neighborhood sign. Ever since Gopher Laundry and Cleaners closed, it has been a magnet for graffiti and now appliance dumping. Whether the city comes out in a month, or the owners of the property take care of the mess...I'm confident I'll see results. 

Above is the wall of Stub And Herbs in Stadium Village. There was some graffiti up there at roof level, and I called it in. Instead of just removing the graffiti, the owners painted the whole side of the wall and added an attractive ad for "Surly Brewing Co." 

CALLING 311 is fun. A day without calling 311 is like a day without Facebook.
