LeShawn was a good kid who got dealt a bad hand in life.<BR/><BR/>The family just packed up and left their rental house one night. It was left vacant and the back door ripped off, so one of the neighbors went inside to make sure everything was ok. She said that it was absolutely trashed inside.<BR/><BR/>After a few complaints to the owners and eventually to the police about having a vacant house with overgrown lawn and a missing back door that was just asking for trouble, the owners came and boarded it up and mowed the lawn. The house has sat boarded up since then.<BR/><BR/>Whenever I look at that house and the boards on the windows and the doors, I get sad.Blorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023298705439503816noreply@blogger.com
