When the city’s new excavator arrives, one abandoned house that has caused many problems for its surrounding neighbors will be coming down.
The house, located at 513 S. Washington St., was up for discussion once again at the Board of Mayor and Aldermen open meeting Monday afternoon.
Danny Neely, code enforcement officer, told the board that all the necessary paperwork and notifications were complete, adding that it was time to demolish the eyesore.
The house has been at the table several times before. Neighbors have been complaining about the abandoned home for over a year now. Open to the elements, the home has also allowed vagrants to frequently inhabit it.-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
