SOUND OFF: Published Sept. 30
I too get sick and tired of seeing other places get money, but the City of Tonawanda never gets anything. I’m sure if someone left some money on the steps of City Hall it would end up getting lost anyway.

Wow! I thought I was the only one who thought that NT was looking like the slums with all the garbage that people are putting out to the curb long before the scheduled pickup. Look, people — it’s simple. The first Sunday of each month is when you should put the bulk garbage out. Only during that first week of the month will it be picked up. I’ve seen toilets, chairs, TVs, and other things sit out there for weeks. Come on NT, lets start fining people for putting stuff out at the wrong time. And what about the people who don’t use their garbage totes and insist on putting bags out instead? I thought it was a requirement to use the totes. If everyone followed the rules, the streets would look a lot cleaner.

Something needs to be done about these out-of-control senior citizens rolling around town on their powered chairs. Riding around in gangs, not moving for pedestrians and impeding traffic. I even witnessed them drag racing near Rainbow Rink! Why aren’t their children stepping in and taking control of them? It’s only a matter of time before a tragedy will happen.

TUCKER: Will traffic signals be next?
My guess is that you are all ahead of me on this one. However, the article in the News reporting that the one-way streets in the City of Tonawanda will be changed back to two-way is good news.

Tell Walmart to quit arguing with the North Tonawandans and come over to Tonawanda. We have a perfect spot for them where they could build the store and there’d be no problems. -
ADAMCZYK: An evening walk with Beethoven
Yes, that’s me: the tall and overweight man with earbuds in his ears and the wire descending to the machine on his hip, huffing through the dusk on Delaware Road in Kenmore.

With the snow melting, I took a friend to the newly named Veterans Park on River Road. What a disgrace. There is garbage everywhere, ruts in the grass and the inlet is all plugged up with trash and debris. The mayor says he is a veteran, yet he lets this insult prevail to all the men and women who came before him, some dying. You should be ashamed.

I’m a City of Tonawanda resident for most of my life and I see the recycling guys don’t want to put themselves out to do their jobs and we paid for their services. So please help, somebody get on their butt and get their job done the way they should.

This is in response to the person who says there was a Jeffrey’s in the City of Tonawanda. The word is Zeffrey’s. It was an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. It was beautiful.
