I caught that "community service" message courtesy of our "community development" director Heather Tykoski on the front page of the newspaper yesterday.  Somebody is taking some vegetables without authorization, and Heather,without knowing their motives (it could be one of our starving and penniless homeless folks) chides them from depriving our food banks of nature's harvest, and ruining their statistics for crop yields.

I think it's about time to buy and set up four of those $4000 video cameras they purchased for the municipal marina (or those cheaper bathroom cameras they are more well-known for) around the perimeter and nip these tomato thieves in the bud.  Or maybe we could have one of our officers go undercover as a watermelon.

"nothing to go on" funny! I see that the "community garden" is getting unwanted attention. It seems that people think it is an actual community garden and have been helping themselves to the produce grown within. A reminder in the LDN is informing the Community that the garden is not there for the "community" but for chosen "needy" families.

Our city intelligentsia has been trying to sponsor and attract artists to the area, encourage cultural economic development and spread the I (heart) Ludington message.  It arrives in a slightly different form than they want and they seem surprised and disappointed.  The COLDNews reports that not only did they put this graffiti on the breakwall, that two tables were damaged and a watering can was purloined down at the aforementioned communisty garden-- a Love Ludington crime spree.

The LPD reports it's much like the time when someone took their toilets... they had nothing to go on.  Time to put some reserve officers on the case, chief.

The COL worries about a little bit of "creative artwork," but who is concerned over the use of meth, heroin, prescription drug abuse?  Where does the COL priorities lie!

Good point john. The murals downtown resemble graffiti so there should be no surprise that budding "artists" will grab the nearest spray paint can and emulate what the City considers art.

Well, this is what the City inspired with their vagrant garden and building murals.

The City should only seek these persons to commission them on the next Art Blight Project.
