Bill\’s Point of View:

• Jeer –Another summer is upon us and once again the tall unattractive weeds are starting to spread along the Conrail tracks that divide Gloucester City. Year in and year out it is the same old problem. The weeds will eventually be cut by the City workers after the public starts to complain. In the meantime those of us who live here have to look at the unsightly overgrowth. Conrail also left a mess along the tracks that parallel Klemm Avenue. The piles of dilapidated rail road ties were left there months ago after new ones were installed. I wonder when that mess will be removed.
• Jeer-As I walk pass the corner of East Thompson and Lane Avenues recently
