for Thursday Sept. 29th

Our home is between two Mercy Buildings, the main hospital and this building above on J St. It is used by Mercy for a personal center (?) with 100's of employees walking back and forth daily. Hopefully it will sell to a non-personal entity. Our mercy problems would lesson.

Street idlers by our home.
......
One of big trucks had his backup horns going...... It was after 7am so I guess it is ok. Not very neighborly though.

Here is the fishman blocking our driveway while waiting his turn.

These pictures were taken last Thursday. The fish truck blocked our driveway. He left his truck and was waiting for an opening. His cooler for his fish were clearly audible.
.........
Another view showing the street and our driveway very congested.
.................
Mercy's freight handling policy shows little regard for the neighborhood and J St traffic. Commercialization of the neighbor is just fine with them. There is too much hospital for their site. So their operation spills out into the neighborhood.

It was a busy day at the Freight Depot today. There was one close call. Good thing medicos can be there or are there.

Yesterday..This truck is noisy and unloading in a red zone. What R-Zoned home protection do we have when next to a commercial zoned space? In my opinion the EIR is not worth much. What does say about the stinky buses that idle next to our property day and night.

Today there were many colorful people out on the sidewalk smoking. Here are two of them.
Surely the hospital has bigger gowns to dress their patients for out of doors.
...........
Something is very different about this problem. Where are doctors, nurses, uniformed personnel that look like doctors and nurses? Where are they smoking now? I suspect Mercy has a secret smoking area on campus like another near by hospital has. I hope they accept the above poor souls into their club.

Something new, Mercy truck unloading on their property. Much safer for the driver. Takes the freight work off the street. Does Mercy have a plan for 2012 - 2014?
...........
U.S. Food Service was here this morning with lots of noise and parking and working outside the yellow zone limits on J St. The tires are past the white limit markers.

A long time ago, 2008, Mercy had many meetings with Joanie and myself. We were told the main entrance would be by our driveway. At that time we couldn't even see the hospital from our driveway due to landscaping. Now we live on commercial sign filled corner and feel like we have been overtaken by the 800 ton gorilla. Yesterday a fairly large family was visiting a patient at Mercy. At least one was a smoker so the whole clan held a length discussion that was easily overheard by us. We were promised a screening wall by Mercy. What is the reason it can't be built now?
