National Trailer Park residents and White Oak residents are being given the heave-ho by developers from their homes near Lexington Park, while a long-proposed low income housing project next door at the Immaculate Heart of Mary church property languishes.  Some of these residents have been tossed out of two other low rent districts while the taxpayers pay to keep moving them around.  Nonetheless, St. Mary's officials and bureaucrats at the Board of Commissioners meeting heaped praise on one another as they dish out dough for moving trucks.  It's the latest chapter from Alice in Wonderland in the Walled City.

St. Mary's Board Approves Money to Get Rid of Poor Folks

Another buyout, why not just buy the poor folks bus tickets to New York City?



Hobos on the March!

The Homeless Shelter
will be moved too, to make room for another developer....all the while hobos continue to live in tent camps behind Ledo's Pizza and the new library in Lexington Park, scaring the wits out of people when they emerge from the woods....why don't these cats ever enter Mexico illegally and stand in line for free stuff?

 


These cops brought out big guns for a report of a local homeless man armed with a gun at the Lexington Park library.  A hobo camp is next to the library where homeless guys who don't like the rules of the homeless shelter, such as no booze, take up residence.  Now the shelter is looking for a new place to locate.   At right, are peaceful homeless residents enjoying a sunny day in the middle of the Lexington Park development district which a prospective developer wants to have the shelter removed.  ST.

LEXINGTON PARK (Aug. 28) ---  They are going to move the Homeless Shelter...but guess where they are going to move it?  Lexington Park Development District Robin Finnacom told the St. Mary's Board that the men's homeless shelter ain't wanted by the developer she is talking to, imagine that!  The developer doesn't want the crazy drunks walking around the soon to be renovated downtown anymore than the staff at the Lexington Park library or other downtown merchants.   So where are the 'three or four places' that are under consideration?  Follow the money.   Soon we will learn that a certain party has a large parcel in a nice neighborhood and the board of the Three Oaks Homeless Shelter has voted to accept this location and the deal will be done.
The usual way a facility like this is sited is that the deed is done, a public hearing is held, the public is ignored and the beat goes on...however, there may be a church or other group who actually wants the homeless shelter so why not volunteer your site to the Three Oaks Center and show that there are folks who want the homeless.  The soup kitchen, Mary's Song, moved from across from the Post Office to the Lutheran Church on Great Mills Road and there have been no complaints from that area about problems with the clients of the soup kitchen.  Maybe they are too full of soup to cause problems, but alls well that ends well.
The Three Oaks Center was built on county property with money from the State of Maryland and private groups paying for the building.  The building can't be abandoned or sold without permission of the State of Maryland.
