La Quinta Cove

This from TB:
Along Montezuma and Obregon the city owns palm trees. The city is in charge to trim them. This is my 3rd year with a pool in the front, at Obregon. But this is the first year I have to clean the filter almost every day.
As we try to remember, they got trimmed before the school was over for the summer. But the people in city hall insist that they get trimmed in July.
Anyone else have an opinion?

THIS FROM KK:
I am wondering if there are others who have been missing decorations that they put out in their front yards. I have been working hard to try and meet the standards of having a nice looking front yard. I know there are those out looking to find who has the wrong kind of decomposed granite, or to many weeds, but who is looking to catch the thieves stealing these items from our yards. I am now missing two large clay pots because of theft. I don’t think I want to invest more money if this is what is going to happen.

Hi mod! I don’t see how to post a new article, but I discovered the other day that cove addresses (other than gated compounds) are now on Google Maps “Street View”…..beyond nifty!
