As for someone picking up and going thru all of our things....they should have the dignity and respect to wait until the night when we aren’t there. It really hurts to see all of our belongings on the street that we have all worked so hard to purchased!! Most of them don’t even care…they look and toss our things around, and then go to the next house. We have actually seen these “pickers” get out of their trucks and go help themselves to a free lunch / dinner that all the great churches and other people have donated!! Don’t even get me started when it comes to trying to have workers come in the neighborhood to help with the clean-up. They can’t even move their vehicles around because of so many cars. On a positive note…ECUA has been wonderful cleaning up!! Hopefully we all can get our lives back to the normal….It may take a year or 2 but we are BRISTOL STRONG!!!

I think sometimes we forget how fortunate we are and how good we have it. I remember once when I put an old yellow toilet out by the road for trash pickup. I couldn't imagine anyone would want an old ugly yellow toilet, but guess what, someone did and they stopped and picked it up.

Or if so called looters pick up items then what they should do is take it to the recycling company and give at least half back to the community!

We have many people here that bring back to life Appliances and furniture... I'd much rather have someone take it and try to make it look new again,then throw it in the landfill..

The countless hours, money spent, cooking and preparing meals, bring cleaning supplies that was brought house to house will not be forgotten. The community in Pensacola Fl, so many churches and different organizations rallied together to look out for their own. Bristol Park neighborhood, I am sure has been blessed thru this tragedy with people just showing their love and concern in so many ways.
