Hello, here we go again with another violation from the grandson of property owner Carl James. This beauty of a vehicle (what’s left of it) was unloaded from a car trailer this past Sunday night (12/21). Someone let the car idle very loudly for about 15-20 minutes, while it emitted an ear splitting level of noise. I was in my kitchen, located in the middle of the house on the first floor of my home and thought someone may have had an accident. I turned out the kitchen light and peeked from behind my dining room curtain to see what the source of the noise was. I saw two sets of headlights. I was relieved it was not an accident and returned to getting my dinner. Then the noise got really loud as the vehicle was coming past my kitchen window down Fairview alley. The car then rounded the corner onto a gravel and dirt path behind the houses on W. 7th Street. It came within one foot of my next door neighbor’s wooden privacy fence. I can see how close the wrecker came to hitting the fence due to the trail of mud left behind. I knew exactly where the car was going to end up and I was correct. The attached photo was taken the following day. This family has 32 City of Bloomington violations reported on their property, dating back to 1970. They obviously don’t follow rules or have any respect for the neighbors living in close proximity to their house. Owner Carl James is in deteriorating health and feels since he owns the house, his spawn can do whatever the **** they want. I’m planning to move to Urbana, Illinois in the spring of 2026. The James family is never going to change their ways, so I’m leaving Bloomington. I thought this was my forever home, but at the age of 64 I will be moving again. This is the outcome when people “flip the bird” at rules and personal responsibility.

East Amp Way folks in the new complex are using College Mall as a parking lot, instead of it being for customers of commerce. Is there a fix for this? People in residences should have parking onsite or not have a car before parking in a space intended for commercial use.

Please consider making one side of Palmer "no parking," similar to the way there is only parking on one side of Dunn St between Hillside and Grimes. The street is very narrow and does not have a good shoulder, and there simply is not enough room to have cars parked on both sides of the street and for traffic to go through safely.

I have been in my house for less than one year. I have a single dwelling on a corner lot and I have a question about the fence. I do not know who to contact regarding the zoning and pitfalls of the fence.
