Fly-dumped bathtub near 55th & S. Indiana
Folks just target specific areas of the city and simply dump stuff off on the street. The cumulative effects are significant and people often become desensitized to the overall blight. We have been using the term, “normalized blight” to describe…
Carpet thrown-in! How a fly-dumped pile grows over time on South Perry Ave.
Several rolls of discarded carpeting and additional trash were added to the site since our last drive-by. Since we are still calibrating and tweaking the workflow on this site, it has been rather interesting to see how a neglected, fly-dumped…
There’s something about Perry (5800 South)

Near 54th & Prairie – embedded trash and tall vegetation
This section has a reputation for embedded trash and tall vegetation. here is a recent example.
