By: Mr. Wilson on September 18, 2009
Ronald Reagan's famous line about government not being the solution gets overused and abused for all kinds of purposes. But here's one case where it was true: good old fashioned pressure from neighbors, not government intervention, finally got the ugly yellow house on 34th and R fixed up and sold to a new owner. Whodathunk a potluck supper -- and local buzz fanned by the Journal Star -- could be so potent? Good work, folks. And good luck to the new owner getting the house fixed up again.
