There are lots of yards and boulevards in the area that are filled with so-called "native" prairie gr***es and other tall plants that age into unkempt messes and by late summer or fall look FAR messier than this little patch of front yard. I live less than a block away, walk past it almost daily, and the seed crop doesn't bother me at all. Don't our city enforcers have more important work to do? +1 -1 1
