NA Confidential is overjoyed to pass along this news from Jim Sprigler, who with his wife Tabitha has created a true on-line forum (as opposed to the admittedly imperfect "blogging" format) for discussion of various ways of "cleaning up" New Albany.
This is another in a series of valuable steps that are bringing together those in the community who share a common interest in improving New Albany.
Here is Jim's announcement:
-----------
From the discussions during the past couple of neighborhood meetings, my wife and I came up with this idea:
Clean Up New Albany
Basically we see this as a community forum where everyone can go and post questions, concerns, etc. about cleaning up the city, both literally and figuratively, in areas of actual physical structures as well as community activism.
We think the East Spring Street Neighborhood Association does a great
job at what it does, to us this as just an extension of the ESNA and every
other neighborhood association in New Albany, more or less a single place for everyone and every association to come together and work together.
Since I already have so many other ventures on my plate, my wife Tabitha is
spearheading this one, and she can be contacted at the following e-mail address:
info@cleanupnewalbany.com
Hopefully, the site will grow, and if there's a need to expand the forums beyond those that currently exist (as we just kind of took a stab in the dark on how to break them up), we can do so. Since this is to be a community forum, input from the community on what you would like to see is greatly appreciated.
If you aren't familiar with a standard online forum, you can post topics, from there post replies to said topics, and anywhere along the way, upload images and setup some polls, etc. That's just scratching the surface.
We've also setup a forum by the name of "Testing Area" where you can post for no other reason just to test and make sure you've got a handle on things.
Regards,
Jim Sprigler
East Spring Street Neighborhood Association

It's so strange this was posted today. I just spent the last 20 minutes or so picking trash up off the lawn (McDonald Lane). I have often thought of making a mulch cage and colleting a years worth of trash, taking photos and posting them. I live on the corner and my bi-weekly ritual is to pick up after idiots 40oz. beer bottles and fast food containers mostly. I think this problem works from high to low on a govt. level. When I was a kid there was a commerical that featured an Indian crying at pollution in the background. I agree that inmates should be utilized, but I think most of the problem is simply lack of self respect and consideration for your neighbors and community.
