thanks for looking at my pictures. we have to unite and do everything we can to fix this alley. I have been in this location for 23 years. some of my customers have stopped coming here and I have to deliver to them just because it is hard to park on street and THEY DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THROUGH THIS ALLEY. I don't blame them, do you?

and here is the original youtube video

The condition of this alley is unacceptable. I have added my vote.

I am very disappointed with our city officials. My neighbors and I have been complaining about the condition of this alley for many many years. I was talking to John, the district area supervisor a month ago about the problem. He told me "if they lied to you before I'm telling you the truth now, the city doesn't have money to fix alleys regardless of the condition."
This week I have seen some actions taking place. A few city workers have come and are checking and measuring the alley. So I asked one of the workers if they are going to fix the alley. and he responded "I'm not sure. We are calculating what needs to be done. Some one has threatened to sue the city for $100,000,000."
Hahh, so that's what it would to get our city officials to get anything done.

well, after many tries finally the city wins and we give up. we ended up moving our 3rd street location after 23 years. partly because of the condition of this alley and customers complaining they can't use the parking.
we will miss our neighbors, but definitely not the alley!

I give up. the city wins.
