Ask City PIRT about this cozy arrangement not in the interests of normal persons–anyone whose never been elected Vice President of Anything Much–persons who, more often than not, are still attractive and popular, nonetheless.

Neighborhood Associations are also tight with wealth-loving city government; check the city’s search engine for the grisly details. The game both play is that everyone is welcome to join their neighborhood association–if you’re dumb enough to believe it. In truth, both have created a local hierarchy where the individual gets burnt in the end despite never attending the chili contest.

….but not really true.

You just couldn’t help yourself could you?

Those are pretty words.

Many different neighbors and groups of neighbors worked on the MOU over a long period of time. When some got burned out by the process, others took their place. The MOU was a collaboration. The fact that all our neighbors are not “policing” the MOU is not surprising. It has been left up to the GGNA as an organization, as it should be, since GGNA was a signatory to the MOU. Because of all the efforts of so many people, it seems the GGNA should make sure it is adhered to. All neighbors are invited to our monthly membership meetings through our neighborhood listserv, facebook page and by virtue of the fact that GGNA has existed for over 20 years and has met the first Thursday of each month at 7 pm for years. Also all neighbors are invited to run to be officers in the GGNA and would be welcomed to serve. The mission of the Greater Glenwood Neighborhood Association is to conserve and enhance the aesthetic appeal, safety, and community character of our neighborhood, which includes our historic buildings, parks, and open spaces. We seek to promote businesses and transportation systems appropriate to the needs and scale of Glenwood, and to assure that development respects the neighborhood context. We are guided by the principles of community, family, diversity, inclusiveness, and balance between individual rights and community needs. The Neighborhood Association builds relationships within the community, promotes neighborhood participation in decisions and activities, represents the neighborhood in interactions with governmental bodies, and organizes projects to achieve neighborhood goals.
