These essays are my opinions based on my experience on MI property built by my grandfather in 1946. I do my best to support statements of fact with science or documentation and I invite readers to correct anything that can be proven to be wrong or seems unfair.
Please Won't You be My Neighbor. Fred Rogers
Fred Rogers was born and grew up in the Pittsburgh area. He stressed kindness, compromise, and helping others. Sadly, his message has not made the 500 mile trip to Masons Island.
Now we have threatening signs all over warning of trespassing, dead end streets, and no bikes or walkers. If the budget allows, will we see a moat, barbed wire, and Dobermans? How about the Guard House? It has always has always been there, but it was only staffed on weekends, and the guards were friendly.
I suggest MIPOA (Masons Island Property Owners Association) adopt this variation of the Mister Roger's theme song,
♫♫ "Won't you please, won't you please, won't you please get the hell out of our neighborhood!" ♫♫
For full effect, the guards can sing this while wearing Fred Rogers style sweaters
"Sustainable CT communities strive to be thriving, resilient, collaborative, and forward-looking. They build community and local economy. They equitably promote the health and well-being of current and future residents, and they respect the finite capacity of the natural environment"
