I can think of an awful lot of other sights in the neighborhood that speak of urban blight! Around here it is the weeds, the rusted cars, the broken fences, the dead plants in pots. And no, I do not live in the slums (but it sounds like it doesn't it?) Very interesting post. I'll share that with some of my English students.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-12942085752944143132007-09-28T11:22:00.000-07:002007-09-28T11:22:00.000-07:00When we tried to form a neighborhood association, ...When we tried to form a neighborhood association, we had the hardest time getting buy in from the neighbors - probably because they were worried about things like this. Can't hang your clothes out to dry? Ridiculous. I don't as a general rule, but I like having the right to do so.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-74786374682943839532007-09-27T22:07:00.000-07:002007-09-27T22:07:00.000-07:00Ahhh, the wash day wars.

However, we spent a week waiting on dryer repair this summer and I was forced to hang some emergency items on hangers from hooks around the perimeter of our covered patio. Ohh, I love the smell of line dried laundry. I've been wrapping my sheets around hangers ever since. And my undies inside of my nighties on hangers. With the garden, pool and huge trees, there is no room for a real clothes line. But if I had the space...!!! I also use an old wooden clothes rack.Lindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-54174676101673054492007-09-27T20:37:00.000-07:002007-09-27T20:37:00.000-07:00Ok, I know the kinds of neighborhoods they are tal...Ok, I know the kinds of neighborhoods they are talking about. And, it's a shame. When dh and I were looking for a house there were some neighborhoods who even dictated that your lawn had to be at least 85% grass -- and what kinds of flowers you could and could not plant. Um, we didn't purchase there.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to use a clothesline. I hate using the dryer all the time. But, I do -- because I live in a townhouse. I actually HAVE no yard (well, a small patio area but, concrete doesn't count much) and I've got shared space with lots of neighbors. Though -- it would be fun to put out a drying rack (which I do use in the basement for most of my clothing) just to see the reaction of the cranky old man who lives across the way. Since he calls the police when kids ride their bikes down our street (yep -- you read it right) I wonder what he would say to my bras and panties?!?atethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563533672161608587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-23100552035680206152007-09-27T19:10:00.000-07:002007-09-27T19:10:00.000-07:00I'm stunned!

If you drive around into some of the subdivision, tho, you won't see one. I had to stop taking early morning walks because the scent of fabric softener coming from the dryer vents as I passed the houses made me wheeze. Ugh.Paula, the quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662592713610165406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-41779126988171338552007-09-27T12:44:00.000-07:002007-09-27T12:44:00.000-07:00A clothesline ban would be enough to make me move....A clothesline ban would be enough to make me move. I LOVE drying outside. Luckily, we live in the country so nobody can tell us where and how to dry our clothes.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-30041106638273868122007-09-27T12:14:00.000-07:002007-09-27T12:14:00.000-07:00Whaaaattt??!!!???

I don't even have enough words to describe how vile that is. <BR/>I've used a clothesline for 30 years, and I get cranky when I have to use the dryer. Clothes on a line are sweet smelling, old memories, and everything good.<BR/>Sorry -- I'm sputtering. I can't believe this - I almost choked on my coffee. <BR/>Geeesh!SuBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453187922365894455noreply@blogger.com
