That is how I got Mr. Curcuru's name. Are the records up-to-date? I don't know. And yes, I reported this on the city's website. There are thousands of nuisance properties in the city now. I belieeve this one deserves more urgent attention. Mike F,

Also, does not the city website have a link for 'problem properties', I believe you can call the city 311 service and ask ?

It's at Bienville and Gayoso. They cleaned it up many months ago, renovated, and they're now open and better than ever. It's still not all I'd hope for in a corner grocery but that's fodder for another post another day. By all means patronize them. I do. Tim, you are probably thinking of Adam’s grocery. It’s at Bienville and Gayoso. They cleaned it up many months ago, renovated, and they’re now open and better than ever. It’s still not all I’d hope for in a corner grocery but that’s fodder for another post another day. By all means patronize them. I do.

I think I've been there--is it right behind the RTA building? If so, I've gotten sandwiches from the deli in the back. Not planning on doing THAT ever again... Clearing out the debris and putting it on the curb would do no good. The city only picks up trash and debris from residential properties. Somebody is going to have to pay to clean that mess up.
