Dear City Hall,

Hey gang, Ivy here again! (again, no blaming Kathy for this post!)

Since we have the attention of City Hall, I'd like to put in my 2 cents' worth about city issues.

On one hand, I love the whole, "No parking in the street" rule because when you get a bunch of people parking in the street, it is hard to navigate down the street, because our streets aren't exactly the widest streets ever.

However, then you get a bunch of people parking in their dinky yards and it looks downright trashy. Plus, a lot of people that park *constantly* in their yards end up having no grass, which drives down property values for everyone.

My suggestion to y'all is, can we have parking on *one* side of the street in residential neighborhoods? I think this would help alleviate the parking in the yard issue, and still leave streets open for driving on as well.

While I'm suggesting things, I'd like to ask for a community pool. If funds are an issue, why not throw a big city-sponsored fundraising party?

Of course, if we get the community pool, we WILL have to name it La Vergne Lake, yanno. As ever, I am

Truly yours,

Ivy B. Bad, esq.
