In your neighborhood watch did you ever think of doing some real civic duty and help tle widows/widower, the disabled the poor or others in need of help rather than being nosey busy bodies? I am 1000 miles away and I know several in Cottage Hill that could use your assistance. Paint their house, make repairs, clean/mow a lawn, assist them with a garden or provide transportation or food, assist with bills.. Would bring a lot more pride than the mess you made of this!
It is alsi more in line with a churches responsibility to its community.

I’m gonna have to talk to Marsha about the “scared to go out at night” bit because I don’t know of anyone around here who is scared to do that. Heck, I even walk on my road in the middle of the night and have no fears. Nobody’s messing with people around here. That’s silly.
The only issue here is dogs and people breaking into houses and cars. When crimestoppers and the SO decide to get together and pick the perpetrators up (yes, they’ve been repeatedly told exactly who is doing it), that’ll be gone too. As for the meth heads and labs, we knew they were there, but they didn’t mess with us in any way.
All in all, I’m really happy here. I love this neighborhood. I feel perfectly safe.

to cottage hill girl, I agree with you one hundred percent and casey saying it was compared to brownsville. That is just ridiculous, they got all the meth heads out of cottage hill. Way to go Escambia county sheriff’s office !!! Now that they are gone cottage hill is a wonderfull neighborhood. My family lives there and i love to visit them and just sit on their porch watching the community. That is one of the best communities in our county. It is nice to know there are still places like that now days. I luv it there!!!

@cottagehillneighbor- Im sorry your disabled and I hope you have someone that can help you but it still doesnt change that NOBODY is owed this. Whatever the VOLUNTEERS can grab and get, they will. Whatever they leave is still the neighborhoods problem. Talk to your neighbors and get them off their lazy butts. My road is clean of debris because all of us take pride in our yards and pick up whenever we see trash. Communities need take matters in their own hands and stop blaming everybody else. Thank you to the county and all the volunteers for picking up everybody elses trash!

And, oh, yeah, if they did such a great job, why don’t some of you guys take a ride down Parker Road? It looks worse than it did BEFORE they came through.

“Instead of whining and crying try grabbing a trashbag and walk your own road and oick up trash yourselves. This isnt owed to you. Its done because your neighborhood is to lazy to do it yourselves!”

Well, if I was physically able to do that, I WOULD!!!

And I do have cause to complain since I was told by code enforcement that various items couldn’t be picked up because they were not allowed as part of Operation Clean Sweep only to discover that these same items were picked up at various other locations and that CODE ENFORCEMENT was who told the volunteers to pick it all up. Now…..if they can pick it up at one location, WHY can’t they pick it up at another? Why couldn’t they pick it up from a disabled person’s home but they COULD from the homes of several able bodied people? I can’t move these things myself so I guess they’ll just sit here for everybody to look at and complain about.

And, btw, there is STILL stuff on the sides of the roads waiting to be picked up.

remember the days of yore? Young men came to Pensacola to learn about Naval aviation. This was the “industry” of Pensacola. Fast forward…..sailors
and marines, “volunteering (?)” to clean up cemetarys, front yards, and rights-of-way, while the homeboys sit on their front porches, with their malt liquor, just enjoying their “entitlements.”

The “speed trap” is a great idea. Its not for writing tickets. The people they pull over, they can run their license and check them for warrants. The cops have laws they have to adhere to. They cant just go kick in doors and start shooting people. Instead of whining and crying try grabbing a trashbag and walk your own road and oick up trash yourselves. This isnt owed to you. Its done because your neighborhood is to lazy to do it yourselves!
