This is a message to the owners of Ardmore West Strip Shopping Center, to voice some complaints.

Complaints:

The trash bins on the sidewalks in front of the donut shop and the Rite Aid are *always* full and overflowing on the sidewalk. I mean always, daytime, evenings, weekdays, weekends.

And there's always an accumulation of cigarette butts in front of the donut shop (coffee, donuts and cigarettes) and the rite-aid store front.

And there's typically/usually one or more cars parked where they shouldn't be, in the narrow alley-way strip between the donot shop and Primo's hoagir shop.

I've been meaning to take some pictures on the last few passes through, but I keep forgetting. 

Editorial comments:

It's not PhD-level rocket science to make this work. You either provide more trash bins for the volume of trash, or you empty the exisitng ones more frequently.  And you solve the parking by immediately shooing the scoffalaws away.

I want to point out the other, similar strip shopping centers in Lower Merion township do not have this problem.  And I also want to note the trash bins, on the public sidewalk in front of the McDonalds (i.e., Lower Merion trahs bins) some times over flow, but no where near as much or an frequently as yours.  That means Lower Merion township is doing a better job of keeping up that you a as a private enterprise are.

In addition to being a quailty of life thing, it makes your strip shopping look trashy and cheap.  Please get right on this and correct it.
