Following up: Kudos to the city for the cleanup.

I'm told the city dispatched a crew to pack away the garbage and construction debris from the alley behind Pints&union, and they're to be thanked for doing so -- as is the health department for coming yesterday to have a look.

This has happened before, and it almost certainly will occur again. All we can hope for is that the city gets serious with the violators.

Why we can't have nice things, Volume 467 (illegal alley dumping edition).

As it appeared yesterday morning.
