Hello Arnie Fielkow!

My name is Lance “Varg” Vargas and I am a local folk artist and blogger. I am writing to you today because I have a simple question. What do you do when a light bulb goes out in your house? Change it right? Next to mowing the lawn or buying groceries, it is a simple household chore that folks all over the world partake in.

So I was wondering what was going on at Fischer Homes over in my district, the Fighting Fourth? I wrote to Jackie Clarkson about it a while back and didn’t hear back from her. I know she’s busy. So instead of hounding her and seeming like a real weirdo, I thought I would just move on up the ladder and the buck stops at you right? I’d ask James Carter but he doesn’t return my e-mails either.

Sorry, I got off track complaining about correspondence. See, all the lightbulbs have gone out across the front of the Fischer development. Probably many of the ones inside too but I couldn’t really say as all I can see is from the road. Lined up across the front are lamposts with large glass bulbs and inside all the lights have gone out. I mean all of them across the front. Back when I wrote to Jackie, there were four still lit but now they are all out. Shame too as they are nice and look expensive. I remarked to Jackie that one of them looked like it wa shit by a car and noticed that has been fixed.

I would really just chalk the whole thing up to the “Care Forgot” asthetic of my beutifully entropic city but there is soemthing that doesn’t sit right with me about it.

See, back in Decemeber, I recall the development being touted as the future of New Orleans housing in lieu of the previous “Big 4” structures across the city, but now we can’t even get it together to do change the lightbulbs. If there wasn’t going to be any effort put into the new public housing, I can’t see why anyone would have voted to tear down the old stuff.

I know you aren’t in chage of HANO but how about getting on the horn and getting someone down there?

If poor upkeep and maitenance is the future then it sounds a whole lot like the past! Whoa! Hey!

Also, tell Jackie that I forgive her for for not writing me back in March. She probably thought I was crazy! Tell her I’m not crazy, I’m just a blogger!

Keep up the good work on the council and I’ll see YOU in the Mayor’s race for 2010 right? Right? Ha! I’m messin with ya!

Rejoice!

Varg
