Greetings, lovely individuals of the city! I am here to offer my humble opinion on your delightful branding adventure which has recently made quite the stir in our community. First and foremost, your efforts to elevate our beautiful city are much appreciated. While reminiscing on the past, relishing in the days of old, and remembering what Bloomington was, we do have to think ahead. My understanding of the new branding and its message about our city’s identity could not hit the nail on the head more squarely. Our community is what it is because people came here recognizing something was different and that something was “a vibe” as the kids not say, that they also felt. But we must recognize that, in order to remain a thriving and vibrant community, “the vibe” must evolve with the times. If I recall correctly, our new traffic engineer and his young family moved from a large metropolitan city with everything to offer, to the 23 square miles in the middle of south central Indiana that we call home. I do not think I presume too much to say, he didn’t choose Bloomington for the logo, he chose it because he saw a place where him and his family could belong. That’s what Bloomington is. That is what I truly believe this new branding effort captures with absolute and robust precision. So I thank you. Let us not forget the words of Weston from the ever-eloquent artist 50 Cent as we face the challenges ahead: "Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top / And I'm gon' shine homie until my heart stop." PS I love, adore, and believe whole heartedly in our new “B” and the potential it will most undoubtedly unlock.

A basketball hoop was installed down the street from my residence. The court is the street. Not only has it caused a disturbance in my household due to incessant noise, but I’ve witnessed multiple cars now honk at the child while trying to get through. It is entirely unsafe and a hazard for the child and drivers. There are also parked cars where the hoop was installed. I have asked the two residences closest to the basketball hoop if they could remove it but they said it was owned and set up by a family that doesn’t even live on our street nor were they asked permission. They have also noted concerns. This is not only an issue with noise but is an issue with safety for many.

There is a rental home on N. Fess (maybe 404?), that has several Tree of Heaven saplings on the property. My guess is the owner just cut or mowed the plant down which has lead to significant resprouting. Given the invasive nature of the tress, my hope is that HAND can educate the land owner on the many available programs in Bloomington to properly assist with removal.

My neighbors weeds are once again growing into and over my fence and is causing an issue for my mowing person who needs to mow along the backside of my fence this week. This was an issue last year and could only be resolved by contacting the city of Bloomington also the same neighbor has been burning trash and their backyard, causing me breathing issues. The trash smells when it burns.
