What do you think of the Garden District Association Blog?
This blog will be used for emergency communications during evacuations. Be sure to save the link to our homepage, www.gardendistrictassociation.org, so that you can access it for important neighborhood information during an evacuation. We will also use this blog for sharing comments about neighborhood planning efforts as part of the Unified New Orleans Plan. Feel free to post comments or questions by clicking "Comments" below. You may want to try out the system to get used to how it works. If you have any questions, please call the GDA office at (504) 525-7608. Thanks for visiting!

Here's an example of a comment.

1. People who walk their dogs without leashes are scofflaws and should be fined. I suggest getting a plain-clothes policeman to patrol at various hours. There's already a monetary fine in the law, but we should add some community service in the form of picking up dog poo.

2. The GDA should try to get our once-a-week garbage pickup scheduled for Monday because everyone naturally puts out a lot of trash from weekend projects.

3. GDA should create a flyer on the subject of garbage and trash (I know several people who would volunteer to distribute them).For instance, on the very day after pickup, DON'T put out the old sofa that's been rotting in the garage for years. Light fixtures, vacuum cleaners, furniture, etc. will NEVER be picked up unless they are disguised in a trash bag. Contractors should be reminded that they are responsible for picking up the debris they create, which includes the food containers their workmen leave behind.
Over and out.
