the rest of the neighborhood looks very nice, except for the one right across the street.
You might remember this neighbor from the
"Channel 4 News is parked outside my house" Thread (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45870)
Anyway, here's the view from our house right now:

Dammit, I haven't been home long enough to change out the oil in the lawnmower yet. I might get to that tomorrow. At least there aren't any weeds!
Oh, and PG failed to note the brilliant shiny new wheels on the rusted out POS in the street. And the POS in the driveway across the street hasn't moved in the two years we've been living here.

i'm assuming the little brats across the street moved our sign to their yard.
I also didn't include their 2 retard dogs in the picture.

My guess would be that the washing machine is holding up the garage door.;)

Its a fine looking tree, you gotta admit. Although, who plants a tree in the middle of the yard? Off the corners people. Off the corners. You want to frame the house, not hide it. Although, perhaps in their case hiding it is better.

And i'm not even kidding. They had a yard sale a couple weeks ago and hung a bunch of clothes from the tree. And they didnt' bring them inside at night. just left all the stuff out there.

Apparently whoever was the developer of this neighborhood does, because every house out here has a tree right in front of the house except ours.

If that yard had more cars sitting in, it would look a lot like my parents. Of course they live in sticks so it really doesn't matter because nobody that isn't doing the same thing with their yard sees it.

My parents used to have neighbors like that. Crap all over the yard, weeds all growing. One time the daughter got locked out of the house so she broke a window. They covered it up with a piece of plywood that remained there for 2 years.
The house was finally reposessed, and when those people moved out of the house, a realtor friend of ours let us in the house. I have never seen a house so nasty. The bathtub was black with mildew. It was so bad, even the roaches were dead. They ended up having to sell it for cheap and gutting the whole thing.

Anyway, here's the view from our house right now:I feel your pain proud gonzo. We have some new neighbors that keep decorating their lawn with cheap looking things like plastic planters, a plaster bird bath, some hanging twirly things and one of those sticks a plant hangs from. Its just a matter of time before the get a flock of pink flamingos. :(

:sigh: My parents are pretty bad about that kind of thing. My dad is letting vines grow around the house becuase it looks "neat", and I had to stop my mother from putting out a flock of pink flamingos last time I was home.

i wouldn't have a big problem if they just had an ugly/messy yard. or if they were in one of those dumpy neighborhoods by the train tracks. But they're not. They're in a neighborhood that aside from occasionally smelling like sh*t is really nice.

It'd be hard to find a house similar to that in the area you described. Most houses in that hood are nicely maintained.

Nope, take a drive on Avondale, just east of Whittier . Used to be decent, not so much now.
Just sling a molotov cocktail into that tree. The rest will work itself out.:D

If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't so close to the waste treatment plant, I'd really think that PG lives in the house I used to rent in Norman.

I have neighbors that routinely do the criss cross lawn mowing action.
As far as the neighborhood I mentioned, I used to ride my bike to Whittier everyday through that neighborhood. Let's just say that is was the Carter/Reagan years.. The area I mentioned had well taken care of homes. I continued to use the Brooks to Avondale to Brooks to SW 24th route whenever I wanted to beat the Lindsey traffic (used to work pretty well). That area appeared down so bad that the last time I went that way, I decided to never do it again as I was too depressed. Kind of like my Grandmother's old house in Bartlesville.
