“Welcome to the camp – I guess you all know why we’re here.”
Pete Townshend, from “Tommy”
NA Confidential is dedicated to the proposition that our place of residence matters, and contrary to the traditional prejudice inexplicably accepted by so many nay-saying city residents, that we are in fact capable of great things in this place.
In Monday’s Courier-Journal, Christopher Hall joins the East Spring Street Neighborhood Association as its volunteers devote a steamy Sunday to distributing information and brochures to area residents: New Albany group pushes improvements (short shelf life on most C-J links).
The urgency of forthcoming City Council votes on funding for the Scribner Place project inevitably has shifted focus away from the imperative of ordinance enforcement, which has been dangling in the pathless limbo of the council’s “awaiting action” box for some months.

See What does Bill Schmidt have against ordinance enforcement at Volunteer Hoosier, and Amany Ali's Tribune article last week that will be linked here when at long last it appears on the newspaper's web site).
As ESSNA president Greg Roberts makes very clear in Hall’s report, ordinance enforcement may have been deferred, but it has not been forgotten, and remains perhaps the one topic that united New Albanians of differing political, cultural and social milieus, with the possible exceptions of the parasitic slumlord class, whose properties would be the immediate targets of vigorous ordinance enforcement.
Don’t forget that on Wednesday night, June 29, the ESSNA will host an evening meeting for the Board of Public Works and Safety.
The meeting will take place at the Calumet Club, 1614 East Spring Street, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
This special prime-time meeting, which is open to the public, is the place to bring concerns, problems and complaints that run the gamut from stray dogs to crack houses, and the board couldn’t have chosen a more comfortable forum.
