it's that kind of a neighborhood

I don't know how long I'll survive living in my grandfathers neighborhood.  I was jogging and came across this scene.

Not only did they feel the need to split the sidewalk around a tree but then they also had to put in a sign to direct traffic.  And you can tell it's a heavily trafficked area.

This is the same neighborhood where my brother once got a ticket for parking his truck in my grandfather's driveway overnight.  Apparently work vehicles are to be kept out of sight.

Living here is a far cry from my old apartment overlooking the parking lot where the garbage trucks are kept.
