VALDOSTA —
A huge thank you to Ronnie from D and D Locksmiths on Alden. My daughter could not remove the key from her car. Ronnie assisted and would not allow me to recompense him. A true Christian spirit. Bless you.
Why is the 1 percent special district transportation sales and use tax called TSPLOST? It states that it is for region and state programs and projects. Lowndes County has to send back to other counties 35 percent of what we collect. We will be a donor county. That’s not Local and won’t be an Option if this passes. Isn’t that Special?
Your request has been answered. Gluten-free pizza will be offered soon at Wooden Nickel Pub. They will offer other gluten-free and vegan items on their menu as well. Enjoy.
In order to be compliant to the new city ordinance of no grass, weed, or undergrowth being over eight inches high, we are trying to decide whether to put Roundup on the entire yard, or ask that the tenants all park on the grass so the grass will disappear. Or should we just get gravel or clay dumped everywhere?
A big rave to Will Robinson and his staff at the Valdosta Food Bank for the wonderful service at the DFACS Day for the Lowndes County adoption group. Thanks to all of you who made this a great event.
Since the city is giving citations for yards with tall grass, why don’t they give citations to people who are still watering their lawns during the no-water periods? At any given morning, there are at least a half a dozen lawns being watered in the Eager Subdivision.
A big thank you to northbound Ashley Street drivers at 5 p.m. Many of you let cars out of businesses into traffic. We are grateful for your wonderful courtesy. Thank you.
Bathing and using toilets are luxuries? Remind me to never, ever go near your house.
Why is it that I’m not allowed to water my vegetable garden, but VSU is allowed to put two sprinklers on brand-new sod all afternoon?
Lowndes County Animal Control: Please patrol Lake Park, especially Cypress Lakes and Indian Head Lake area and you’ll find plenty of pets wandering around. You could easily make your budget with those owners that refuse to confine their pets.
You can pay your county utility bill online. I’ve been doing it for years. I just use my bank’s online bill pay option (where I can add anyone I want to pay online) and have had no problems. Good Luck.

Thank you to Victoria at Winn-Dixie in Lake Park for being honest. I left my cash back in the automatic check out. She found it, and turned it in. Great employee. Keep her Winn-Dixie.

I am a student at Valdosta State University, I pay thousands of dollars in tuition, but I am not allowed to use the Student Recreation Center because I am not taking summer classes. I was told that I have to pay $45 to use the Rec Center during the summer. As if I don't pay enough already... Utterly ridiculous.

Truly embarrassing that our community euthanizes 12 animals daily. Our citizenry hasn’t progressed to understand responsibility. The end result in these horrible economic times is the ongoing suffering of animals. Other locales nearby have solved this problem; mandatory spay/neuter and breeding licenses are needed to stop this scourge. Let’s get serious, please!

I think what the County Commissioners are doing to Deep South Sanitation is outrageous and I think the citizens of Lowndes County should remember this during the next election. They are giving away freedom of choice. This man had this trash collection before Advanced.

The City of Valdosta needs another cable company! Competition is a great thing.

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm quite pleased with Advanced Disposal. I'm paying less than I paid for service with Veolia, the service is reliable and they offer a large recycling bin. I don't understand what's "socialist" about offering county residents affordable, reliable service.

Closing the trash drop off was a big mistake. I live in Stone Creek so now I can’t put anything beside the street, now I have to haul it to the landfill and pay by weight. I had to pay $15, then I have to pay the trash pick up monthly. Something is wrong in this picture. I have a lot of yard waste, so now I have to take it to the landfill every time I clean yards.

I live in Brooks County. A while back, a limb fell at the edge of my yard. I called the road department asking to remove it. I was told they could not help because it was on private property. Later driving down Johnson Short Road, I saw the road department removing limbs from a yard. I have found out the limbs were on private property.

Do people in Valdosta not understand that when you lag behind at a green light there are people behind you that will not make the green light due to your inconsideration?

Mosquitoes in the city are growing fast. But sanitation and cable bills in so-called "Metro Valdosta" are growing even faster!
