Just had 2 women come to my home and ring the doorbell at 8:30 pm to ask for a donation. At 8:30pm?! I don’t know what was going through their heads and thought that was appropriate. I’m not very impressed.

A well known building for he losing their sight and those who have no sight. It's a great addition to our neighborhood of Seniors who can access the accessories & help they have available.

Just about once a week there is cleaning noise coming from their parking lot! They should make sure their subcontractors obey the noise bylaws! I live right beside that lot! It is 12:46am at this very moment and it has been going on for 2 hours!
