Friends who live in the new part told me the older area closed access to their part of Bridgewater to the newer area so they have to drive around the long way. This is a mess, but the fact that Bridgewater has clear tiers of top and bottom in their new rich neighborhoods is a little funny. Don't know anyone who grew up here that lives there or wants to live there. It's a haven for small town people or out of staters who have been successful and come to the city. People who have the blessing of being comfortable in their own skin/environment have no interest in living in there - even though they can certainly afford it. Pretty obvious with the dropping price point and stagnant sales. I do NOT dislike the neighborhood, just the sad class system where people who do well desperately want to prove it and establish "elite" neighborhoods full of every day people. Nothing wrong with that, but the own internal class structure war in BW does make me snicker a bit.

If it does, I ride through and look down the driveways or drop someone off to look in unlocked cars. When I returned, the gate had shut and I had to stop and wait on the gate to open. I panicked, so I went out of the gate and came back in. Then, we returned the items we borrowed. I learned that if I have to stop twice, I’m not going back. Just too easy for someone to see me. I’m a police officer and I sell gate codes. All the break-ins that are reported from gated neighborhoods are probably because of me.<br /><br />Gates are really not pointless. They deter lots of crime because of time and it’s essence.

If you listen to the police radio...3:40 is correct. If you listen to the police radio long enough you will occasionally hear PD, FD, or EMS ask dispatch for the entrance code to a gated subdivision or apartment complex.<br /><br />The dispatcher will read the gate access code back over the radio to the officer.

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

The County recently paid to re-do the streets in Madison Northbay, where golf carts are allowed even though there is no golf course. <br /><br />I believe I've read that municipalities in the metro all have ordinances that prohibit 'full gating'. If an area is fully gated and the municipality has no responsibility for road maintenance or repair, one might assume the police don't even have the authority to enter. But, I guess those who live in the silk-stocking areas would know more about that than I.<br /> Sunken Asphaltnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-34544488048405363932019-11-12T14:00:37.137-06:002019-11-12T14:00:37.137-06:00@10:09 AM - I didn't want to give up a well ke...@10:09 AM - I didn't want to give up a well kept secret.
