Before and after

On June 17, I posted this photo of weeds at a condemned house in the 900 block of Barber Street. Today, the yard looks a lot different and much better.

Condemned house in bad shape

I've passed this house a number of times and it always bothers me. Its a condemned house the 900 bloxk of Barber Street, badly in need of repair with a piece of spouting hanging down and the porch onits way to the ground. What struck me today, after speaking at Monday's council meeting about weed problems in the borough, was the condition of thr backyard.  Kind of surprised some of the neighbors haven't called the borough to complain.
