You know it's frustrating when people on who wants to be a miss the easy questions. Name the 1970's rock band that also shares it's name with a mythological river. It frustrating that I name it before give the choices. This from the fellow that won the race to list four European cities from north to south.
So the property that I bought at the tax auction has two mattresses, a box springs, chest of drawers, and a couch in the yard. I called somebody to see if they could pick it up. I was late meeting him due to traffic on 24. The thing is that he showed up. He saw some people gathering nearby and freaked out. He left. When I showed up more than thirty minutes late. I turned around and headed back home.
Then I called the company to explain what happened. A lady answered the phone. She said that she would relay the message. That was three o'clock. I called back at five thirty. The same lady answered the phone and then handed the phone to the man. I assume that this was his wife.
He explained to me about the "gang" that was gathering as waited for me. Then he told me that he really was uncomfortable going back. I told him I understood. I know it's the 'hood. The problem is that he should have known that as well.
If you're in Nashville and don't know that anything near Dickerson Pike is shady, consider this your warning. The thing is he knew the neighborhood. He knew enough to know that he would be coming from Trinity Blvd. He knew that Dickerson Road shares some of the same space with First Street, but some how he didn't realize that this wasn't as nice as a place as Brentwood.
Brentwood wouldn't allow stuff like that. This guy delivers open top dumpsters to residential properties. What was he expecting? You don't deliver those things and pick up mattresses out of the yard in posh neighborhoods. Sounds like some one is in the wrong business.
So I guess I get to find some one else tomorrow.
I've got more news, but that's enough for now. Good night folks.
