Landlady Loses Two Tenants

Our infamous absentee landlady, who got the attention of the
entire Missouri State Legislature and every media outlet when she place a
registered sex offender (Randy Lande) adjacent to the First Baptist Church Day
Care Center, recently lost two tenants from her buildings near the corner of
Spring & Farmer Streets. The first
loss was a nice gentleman who actually lived there only a few months but was
compelled to move out a few weeks ago. In his own words, he had witnessed too much crime and drugs and was
worried about his own safety. The circumstances
of the second tenant leaving must have been a premonition of the first
tenant. You see, the second tenant left
a week later allegedly in a body bag. Just like the duplex on Pleasant Street, I’m sure the Landlady, with
these new vacancies, can give you a “Move in Special.” If anyone tells you that the biggest obstacles
to the preservation of Truman Neighborhood is poor sidewalks, inadequate
signage, and inconsistent preservation standards, then we have even more evidence
of locals under-the-influence. I can't
image anyone living near the corner of Farmer & Spring believing that the
state of the neighborhood and the city is good. Oh well, life goes on in the Truman National Historic Landmark
District. But in some cases, it doesn’t.
