Notes Newscopy: "This is the problem no one is doing anything about: You are looking down 32nd-av from the corner of Quintara-st, the way Mr. Fixit saw it. The mound of sand is Quintara-st, and it gets bigger as it goes along. The barrier along the edge of the Anderson home on the corner is all that keeps Quintara-st out of their front yard. The houses here and on the other streets in this afflicted district, have to be painted sometimes twice a year because of their constant sand blasting. But so far the city hasn't found a legal way to do anything about it."
